OUR FELLOWS
Following her interest in agriculture, Rose Aawulenaa obtained an undergraduate degree in Agriculture Technology before earning a Master’s degree in Agricultural Economics. She currently works for Plan International Ghana as an Enterprise Development Specialist for a Global Affairs Canada-funded project called ‘WISE’ – Women's Innovation for Sustainable Enterprises. The project aims to help improve women’s social position and create economic opportunities for them. She hopes that the skills and knowledge she will obtain as a Fellow can help her raise awareness among rural communities about the 2019 Land Bill and develop her lobbying and advocacy skills.
“When you get to work with rural people, especially women, and you're able to make the needed impact in their lives, the smile alone on their faces brings some fulfillment.”
