The Port Management Association of West and Central Africa (PMAWCA) has called on port authorities in member countries to come out with legislations to take national security and commercial interest into consideration.

The Institute of Local Government Studies (ILGS) would collaborate with non-governmental organisations to promote the activities of women in the informal sector to accelerate national development.

Madam Magdalene Kannae, Head of the Gender and Social Development Centre of ILGS, gave the assurance at a policy dialogue session with the informal sector yesterday in Accra.
