The high-level interaction took place during the National Tripartite Committee’s conference, running from June 26 to 28, 2026, at the Volta Serene Hotel in Ho. Under the theme “Strengthening Industrial Harmony as a Catalyst for Accelerated Economic Growth and Development,” the event gathered labour stakeholders, government officials, and civil society groups.

During the engagement, the GFD team introduced their mission and discussed collaborative strategies to promote disability inclusion across the region. Hon. James Gunu warmly welcomed the delegation and expressed his administration’s openness to partnering with the Federation. He emphasised the importance of inclusive policies that ensure persons with disabilities actively participate in regional development.
