The conference featured a remarkable lineup of speakers who shared their invaluable insights under the theme: “The Resilience and Determination of Womanhood.” Attendees were treated to empowering sessions that celebrated the achievements of women and fostered discussions on overcoming challenges.
A highlight of the conference was the Creative Woman Hub initiative, which was launched last year to equip women with essential skills. We are thrilled to announce that our graduates have excelled in their respective fields, thanks to the unwavering support of our dedicated sponsors.
In a competitive business pitch, (Akorfa Lawson) emerged as the winner, receiving a seed fund of GH₵10,000 to kick-start her business.

The conference also witnessed the unveiling of the Triumph Women Awards which seeks to honor women who are making impact in society and helping shape and transform lives in various sectors in the country.
As part of the initiative, 10 outstanding women received the noble award in different categories. The organisers of this award will roll out a road map for nomination in 2025 during the third edition of the She Triumph Conference.
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors, including HM Life Mixture, and our cherished brands such as Frytol & Alife Soap, Bel Aqua & Bel Beverages, La-Palm Royal Beach Hotel, and many more.

Attendees were also treated to numerous surprises and giveaways, generously sponsored by Homeland Ghana through the support of Mrs. Adiza Ibrahim.
The SHE Triumph Conference 2024 was not just an event; it was a movement towards greater gender equality and empowerment.
The Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Abena Osei Asare has expressed concerns about the failure of the Administrator of the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) Mr. Paul Adjei to honour invitation of the Committee to assist in dealing with abandoned projects cited in the 2024 Auditor-General’s report.
She emphasised that some of the projects have been abandoned for more than 20 years and it kept reoccurring in the Auditor-General’s report yearly, stressing that the GETFund Administrator could assist by prioritising these projects.
However, he has failed to personally appear before the Committee since the commencement of the Committee’s public hearing in the 9th Parliament.
According to the 2024 Auditor-General’s report on Pre-University Educational Institutions, nine (9) Institutions with 16 projects awarded by the GET Fund Secretariat had been abandoned/delayed for a period ranging between three (3) and 28 years.
Some of the affected schools include Adanwomoase Senior High School (Boys and Girls dormitory abandoned for 12 years), Atoa Senior High School (Home Economics Block abandoned for 27 years), Beposo Senior High School (Dinning Hall and Kitchen Complex abandoned for 10 years and lastly KNUST Senior High School (Three storey classroom block abandoned for 20 years).
The Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy continued its oversight responsibilities with a working visit to the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) yesterday.
Chairman of the Committee, Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, said the visit formed part of efforts to familiarize members with the Authority’s operations and to explore ways Parliament could provide the necessary support.
He explained that the NPA’s work is focused on regulating Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector, a critical area for national energy security.
Mr. Bedzrah noted that the Committee is particularly interested in assessing whether the country has adequate petroleum stock to meet demand.
He noted that rising geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing US–Iran conflict, could have adverse effect on Ghana’s energy supply and pricing.
He further disclosed that the Committee intends to engage closely with the Authority on a proposed new petroleum bill.
According to him, a draft of the legislation will be reviewed and possibly presented to Parliament under a certificate of urgency.
