POLICY, LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK Generally, Ghana’s gender policies have focused on raising economic and social status of women towards promoting gender equality. It has often been guided by global development agenda (E.g. MDG and ILO conventions) Over the years policy that concern women has been largely influenced by Women in Development (WID). During the period of SAP in the 1980s, WID activities shifted towards increasing the productivity of women through the provision of micro credit to women in the informal sector.

POLICY, LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK Legal framework on WEE and gender equality is situated within a broader framework of various convention and treaties that have been signed Minerals and Mining Act 2006 (Act 703) regulates operations of extractives and does not discriminate between men and women The Labour Act of 2003 (Act 651) frowns on discrimination of any form and in any industry including the extractive sector. Establishment of Gender Ministry in 2001 to promote WEE and gender equality

POLICY, LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK National Council for Women and Development (NCWD) set up in 1975 as advisory institution in the formulation of policies in integrate women in devt 31 st December Women Movement to replace NCWD to promote WEE and Gender Equality Implementation of strategies towards achieving MDG3 However, the observed gender gap of all forms in the Ghanaian labour market and the extractive sector forms a strong basis for this research.
