The District Chief Executive for the Atwima Kwanwoma District, Hon. Grace Agyemang Asamoah, has been honoured on the international stage after receiving the “Most Outstanding Female Leader in Local Governance and Public Service Administration” award at the 3rd edition of the She Achievers Award ceremony held in Kigali, Rwanda.
The prestigious recognition was presented during a colourful event at the renowned M Hotel Kigali, where accomplished women leaders from different parts of Africa and beyond were celebrated for their exceptional contributions to leadership, governance, business, and community development.
Hon. Agyemang Asamoah received the award from the Business Executive Group, organisers of the international She Achievers Awards platform, which seeks to recognise and honour women whose leadership and professional accomplishments have significantly impacted society.
The honour marks another milestone in the leadership journey of the Atwima Kwanwoma District Chief Executive, who has already received three notable awards within ten months of assuming office, reflecting the growing recognition of her dedication to effective local governance and public service.
Delivering her acceptance speech, Hon. Agyemang Asamoah expressed sincere appreciation to the organisers for acknowledging her work and commitment to improving the lives of people at the grassroots level. She noted that the true essence of leadership lies not merely in occupying positions of authority but in creating meaningful change that positively affects communities.
According to her, leadership must always remain people-centred, guided by the goal of promoting development, empowering communities, and addressing the everyday needs of citizens.
She also used the opportunity to inspire women across the African continent to pursue their ambitions with confidence and perseverance regardless of their background or challenges they may face.
“Women must continue to push harder and remain determined in whatever field they find themselves. Where one comes from should never limit the heights one can attain. Hard work always brings rewards,” she remarked.
Hon. Agyemang Asamoah further commended the organisers of the She Achievers Awards for providing a global platform that highlights the achievements of women who are making remarkable impacts in governance, entrepreneurship, and professional leadership.
She was accompanied to the ceremony by the District Coordinating Director of the Atwima Kwanwoma District Assembly, Alhaji Mohammed Shaibu, together with other officials from the Assembly.
The District Chief Executive also expressed gratitude to the President of the Republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, for the trust and confidence placed in her through the opportunity to serve as the District Chief Executive of the district.
She reaffirmed her commitment to working collaboratively with stakeholders, traditional authorities, and residents of the district to advance development initiatives and improve the living conditions of the people within the district.
The international recognition further strengthens Hon. Grace Agyemang Asamoah’s reputation as a dynamic and impactful leader in local governance, whose dedication to public service continues to gain both national and global admiration.
