Gender, Equity, and Social Inclusion (GESI) in Ghana’s 2026 National Budget

Gender, Equity, and Social Inclusion GESI can sound like policy language. But in reality, it is very simple. It is about ensuring fairness, allowing women to earn, save, and grow without barriers, protecting vulnerable households during difficult times, including persons with disabilities (PWDs) in everyday life rather than marginalising them, and ensuring that one’s place of birth does not determine one’s potential. In a year where the government is talking about transformation, GESI is the test of whether that transformation is shared or selective.
