Agyeman-Rawlings, the widow of ex-President Jerry Rawlings, held the position twice between 1979 and 2001. Nandi-Ndaitwah praised her counterpart for founding the 31st December Women's Movement, which promoted female entrepreneurship, education and political engagement across Ghana. The initiative helped advance women's participation in the nation's economic and political spheres. The Namibian leader sent condolences to President John Mahama, the deceased's family and Ghanaian citizens. She pledged her country's support for Ghana as it grieves the loss of a prominent advocate for women's advancement. [/QUOTE]
