The Governing Council and Programme Management Team of STAR Ghana Foundation wish to congratulate Safia Musah, Gender Equality and Social Inclusion Officer, on her selection to the fourth cohort of the Ghanaian Women’s Social Leadership Program (GWSLP). 

The Ghanaian Women’s Social Leadership Program (GWSLP) is a program developed by NYU Wagner in collaboration with Fundación Mujeres por África and Banco Santander. The program offers a one-year, cohort-based leadership development program for women in mid-level positions in Ghanaian civil society organizations. Through the program’s leadership development, individualized coaching, and networking opportunities, GWSLP participants develop the skills and support needed to lead transformational change in their communities and society at large.

Safia has contributed to the STAR Ghana Programme objectives of influencing policy and practice through the empowerment of excluded groups. She has contributed immensely in the coordination, design and delivery of capacity building activities for programme partners and civil society as large.

Prior to her role at STAR-Ghana, Safia worked with Actionaid, IBIS in Ghana (now Oxfam) and ACDEP. She holds a Masters in Local Economic Development from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, and a Bachelor’s in integrated development studies from the University for Development Studies, in Ghana. She serves on the board of three Non-Governmental Organizations.
