She emphasized that the national focus on technical and vocational training provides an opportunity for women to acquire practical skills that will enable them to compete and create opportunities for themselves and others. At the 3rd Biennial Conference of the Fellowship, held at the Most Rev. Kwesi Dickson Memorial Methodist Church, Adjiringanor Airport East Circuit, the Vice President reiterated the importance of including financial literacy and entrepreneurship in the training programs. She stressed that equipping a woman with skills, along with financial assistance and mentoring, can transform knowledge into a livelihood and help her become self-reliant. Opoku-Agyemang highlighted the need for Ghanaian women to keep pace with the changing world of work, asserting that women's economic empowerment is crucial for national development. She pointed out that the high cost of living, limited access to affordable finance, and the fragility of small businesses significantly impact women. The Government's policy framework prioritizes enterprise and economic transformation, with a focus on women's economic empowerment, and the upcoming Women’s Development Bank aims to expand financing opportunities for women.

The conference, themed \"Walking in the Word, Equipped for Every Good Work,\" focused on faith, fellowship, and service, and brought together members of the Women’s Fellowship.",
