Hi ken, all,
thanks for this contribution and giving us an insight into the points brought forward by these women's groups in Ghana.
You might find the following publication of interest as well, as it addresses some of the same issues.
The summary description of the paper is as follows: "The purpose of this paper is to argue for the consideration of gender issues in all research on radio, convergence and development in Africa. It is intended to guide the deliberations at the Butare roundtable (September 2009) discussion on a research agenda and to ensure that gender considerations are given prominence as the research plans for the network are developed."
Hope you find it useful/relevant!  Best wishes, saskia
