Chieftaincy
[edit]Mama Bobi III was enstooled to the position of Asafonyornufia in April, 2022[3]. Historically, the Bobi family only held the position of Asafofiaga of Ho-Bankoe. However, they were elevated to Afetorfia of Bake and Ho-Bankoe because this was the only clan among the four others that did not have such a position.[5] Subsequently, Mama Bobi was promoted in title to Afetornyonufia during the installation and outdooring of new chiefs in Asogli in 2023.[6]

Development
[edit]Mama Bobi III is one of the several women traditional leaders whose leadership 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.[7] 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[8]
Funding from the British Academy has enabled Peace A. Medie to continuing working on the project.
