Nai Kweku Pobee I is Apegyahene of Awutu Traditional Area.
Chieftaincy
[edit]Nai Kweku Pobee I holds the traditional leadership position of Apegyahene within the Awutu Traditional Council, which oversees various aspects of cultural preservation and development for the region.
As Apegyahene, Nai Kweku Pobee I, plays a ceremonial and leadership role, participating in key cultural events such as the Awubia Festival.[1]
This festival, held annually in the Awutu Traditional Area, is a major celebration that combines traditional rites, cultural performances, and community development activities aimed at promoting unity and growth within the Awutu region.
Developmental works
[edit]Women in traditional leadership roles, such as that held by Nai Kweku Pobee I , is being studied under a University of Ghana project titled "Women and Political Participation in Africa: A Comparative Study of Representation and Role of Female Chiefs", which is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. In this project, a mixed-methods approach is adopted to comparatively study women’s representation in the institution of chieftaincy and their influence on women’s rights and wellbeing in Botswana, Ghana, Liberia, and South Africa. Lead researchers on the project, Peace A. Medie, Adriana A. E Biney, Amanda Coffie and Cori Wielenga, have also published an opinion piece titled "Women traditional leaders could help make sure the pandemic message is heard" in The Conversation news, which discusses how women traditional leaders can educate their subjects on Covid-19[2].
Funding from the British Academy has enabled Peace A. Medie to continuing working on the project.
