The Centre for Africa Development and Progress (CADeP) has expressed profound sorrow over the passing of Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, former First Lady of the Republic of Ghana.

In a statement signed by Mr. Johanes Koku Nyagblordzro, Executive Chairman of CADeP, the late Mrs. Agyemang-Rawlings was described as a pioneering advocate for women’s empowerment, leadership, and civic engagement.

“Nana Konadu was more than a public figure; she was a stalwart in Ghana’s socio-political history who tirelessly championed the rights and socio-economic elevation of women and children,” the statement read.

The think tank noted that her legacy will endure through the countless lives she touched and the institutional reforms she catalyzed during her decades of dedicated public service.
