The meeting brought together women Members of Parliament to review the association’s organisational progress and discuss priorities for the new parliamentary term.
The UWOPA Executive presented updates on several areas of the association’s operations, with members considering the progress made since the beginning of the 12th Parliament.
Among the issues reviewed was staffing, as the association continues efforts to strengthen its administrative structures and ensure effective coordination of its activities.
Members also received an update on the status of bank account signatories, an issue linked to the association’s financial and administrative operations.
