In 2008 she received the Feminist Leadership in Africa award from the Akina Mama Wa Africa (AMWA) Leadership Institute and in 2015 she represented CSO’s in Ghana at the African Growth and Opportunity Act meeting in Gabon having been recommended by the USA State Department and the United States Aid for International Development (USAID) to represent CSO’s in Ghana.
