Abstract: The quest for increased female representation and participation at the local level government in Ghana has not been obtained probably because we have the neglected the demand and supply side factors account for the paucity of policies and programes to promote participation of women in the local government system in Ghana. Women involvement in decision-making processes in governance for sustainable development is very critical not only because they constitute majority of the Ghanaian population but they are discriminated and under-represented in socio-economic and political development activities thereby bringing about not only a gender gap but also exclusion of women and their needs, interests and perspectives from governance. This paper examined the demand and supply framework so as to prompt stakeholders in their bid to enhance the presence of women in the local government system in Ghana. It also looked at the concept of local government system in Ghana and examined the statistics of women’s representation in the district assemblies. It concludes that women must strive to empower themselves by acquiring the knowledge, skills, resources (i.e. time, money) and motivation. NGOs, political parties as well as government and its agencies should put in place discriminatory policies and programmes as well as legislations that will bring social change to encourage and attract women in local level governance.
