The daughter of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Edwina Dokua Akufo-Addo, was listed in Ghana’s provisional 618-member delegation to the COP28 summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
GhanaWeb checks from the list show that Edwina was listed as a Technical Assistant at the Climate Change Unit of Africa Women and Children Conference (AFRIWOCC).
According to the conference categorization of attendees, there are two sets of participants, the party (official government attendees) and the overflow (others coming from Ghana but attending independently).
Ghana’s “party” list came up to 95 with the “overflow” list pegged at 523 according to carbonbrief.org website.
We are unable to state whether Ms. Akufo-Addo was on the party or overflow category.
AFRIWOCC, in whose name she was listed, according to their website is a "a high-level dialogue that provides the platform for stakeholders and experts to deliberate on issues affecting women and children in Africa.
"A biennial conference, AFRIWOCC is designed as a critical but nuanced platform of engagement for reflections on these issues that affect women and children."
