>>This is what the APRC Manifesto has to say about women:
>>
>>The need to unlock the creative potential and tap fully the productive
>>capacities of women must occupy an exalted position in our development
>>programme. The economic role of women must be fully recognised and their
>>participation as equal and indispensable partners in our development
>>efforts
>>would be accorded due emphasis.
>>
>>Our policies would be slated to a measurable extend towards empowering
>>women
>>in the areas of agriculture, business, services, marketing and other
>>identifiable spheres of female endeavour and assist in improving their
>>entreneurial skills. No truly national development programme would be
>>successful without the full participation of women and, in recognition of
>>this, the APRC would continue the policy of appointing highly qualify and
>>capable women into positions of authority in public administration.
>>
>>Women hold the following positions:
>>
>>1. The Vice President
>>2. Secretary General
>>3. Secretary of State for Tourism
>>4. Secretary of State for Education
>>5. Accountant General
>>6. Auditor General
>>7. Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly
>>8. Permanent Secretary, Department of State for Health
