Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung@ 40 in Ghana Since then, FIDA-Ghana with the support of FES began to ensure that legal rights education was an important component of the organisation's programmatic approach to ensure that the majority of Ghanaian women know about their rights. Indeed at a time when few International donors were wiling to invest and partner with women rights organisations on gender issues, FES was one of the few partners to blaze the trail by dedicating some of its funds to promote and enhance women's rights in the country. FIDA–Ghana has noted your singular achievement in helping to document findings of studies on the level of discrimination against women in the legal and socio­cultural setting within the framework of the 1992 Constitution as well as the development and production of various publications between 1996 and 1997. Notable among these publications are“Women in Agriculture,” which was reviewed in 2004,“Women in Employment and Industry,” and“Networking in promoting women's rights.” These have formed important resources and reference materials, for women activists and students as well as enriching the publication department of FIDA-Ghana. FES through its various women partners has touched the lives of many women in all corners of the country through its support. On this occasion, FIDA wishes to congratulate the FES for its assistance in sustaining the momentum of work being done to achieve gender parity in Ghana. It is our profound wish that God grants the management and staff of FES the grace to continue its good works. Ayekoo!! Congratulations and may God bless FES 79
