He stated, 

“NGOs should establish policies that not only support gender equality but also boost the morale of women, enabling them to execute their tasks effectively with the aim of promotion and growth.”

Armstrong further advocated for a participatory approach in policy making, project planning, and program design, ensuring that women’s voices, and opinions are given priority. He argued that such inclusivity would foster commitment and engagement among female employees.

“Another advantage is the potential for higher performance and diverse solutions to problem-solving, especially during conflicts,” 

Tenjoh noted. 

He emphasized that good governance thrives when there is mutual participation in policies, project planning, and implementation.
