Dr Nancy Drost, the Field Manager of Women's Economic Empowerment in Northern Ghana (WEE-North), has justified the rationale behind establishing a multi-trade women's association in 55 districts for northern Ghanaian women artisans.
Drost said that male artisans in the northern region are unwilling to accept women's inclusion in their associations.

The last four years have since seen over 1,800 young female artisans trained in various male-dominated workforces under the Women's Economic Empowerment in Northern Ghana (WEE-North) program.
The Women’s Economic Empowerment through Industrial Trades Training in Northern Ghana project (WEE-North) has helped women break into the traditionally male-dominated workforce by training them as welders, plumbers, carpenters, bricklayers, and electricians among others.
The tradeswomen after a successful training are subsequently awarded with a TVET Proficiency One certificate with tool kits.
Dr Nancy Drost is the field manager for the Women's Economic Empowerment in Northern Ghana (WEE-North) program. She was speaking at the second annual general meeting of the tradeswomen in Tamale.
