Gender Minister to explore digital opportunities for women at Commonwealth forum
Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, is expected to highlight the potential of digital networks and platforms to expand women’s access to markets at the ongoing 2026 Commonwealth Women’s Forum in Antigua and Barbuda.
Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, the Gender Minister of Ghana, is set to discuss the potential of digital networks and platforms to broaden women's market access at the 2026 Commonwealth Women's Forum currently taking place in Antigua and Barbuda. The session she will address is titled "Leveraging Networks and Digital Platforms to Scale and Access New Markets".
This is part of Ghana's involvement in the Commonwealth activities. The forum session will delve into the role of digital connectivity and networking in enabling women to penetrate wider markets and boost their involvement in economic activities. Dr Lartey is leading a Ghanaian delegation at the forum located in St. John's. The event assembles representatives from Commonwealth governments, civil society bodies, development organizations and youth networks in the run-up to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
In addition to her digital markets address, Dr Lartey has scheduled engagements to bolster the health sector's approach to gender-based violence and to participate in the Commonwealth Disability Forum. The latter forum will look at ways countries can enhance access to education, employment, political representation and other opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
