Ghana Scores Below Average on Government Effectiveness Index   

In a revealing assessment of Ghana’s democratic governance framework, the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) has underscored significant shortcomings in the Government of Ghana’s effectiveness and corruption control.

“Did you know that Ghana scored below average on the Government Effectiveness Index (48.2%) between 2010 and 2019 and Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI) (43%) over the last 3 years (2020-2022)?”, the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development disclosed.

These figures, according to the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development underscore a troubling narrative of governance deficits, including pervasive corruption, limited accountability, and weak enforcement of the rule of law.

Strengthening Accountability, Rule of Law, and Institutional Responsiveness in Ghana

Recognizing the urgency of these issues, CDD-Ghana, indicated that it has, in collaboration with the Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII) and the Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC), and with support from the European Union, launched an ambitious project titled ‘Strengthening Accountability, Rule of Law, and Institutional Responsiveness in Ghana (SARIS).’

This initiative aims to bolster public accountability, fortify the rule of law, and enhance institutional responsiveness through a multifaceted approach involving civil society, media, and public institutions.

The Ghana Centre for Democratic Development further pointed out that the SARIS project is structured to address the alarming governance deficits by empowering civil society organizations (CSOs) and media outlets, enhancing internal control mechanisms, and advocating for preventive anti-corruption reforms.

Furthermore, the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development revealed that the project’s comprehensive strategy includes organizing training programs across various regions of Ghana to equip stakeholders with the necessary tools and knowledge to drive meaningful change.

As part of the initial phase, the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development indicated that two dedicated teams have been deployed to conduct training programs in eight out of the twenty-four selected districts within the Western, Central, Volta, and Greater Accra regions.

The public policy think-tank emphasized that these programs are specifically designed to target community-based organizations (CBOs), citizen groups, media personnel, political parties, public anti-corruption institutions, and Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs).

The training sessions, the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development noted aim to foster a deeper understanding of accountability and transparency among participants, empowering them to play a proactive role in monitoring and combating corruption.

“By equipping these key stakeholders with practical skills and knowledge, the SARIS project seeks to create a ripple effect, whereby empowered communities and institutions can hold public officials accountable and demand better governance practices”, the statement indicated.

Again, the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development pointed out that one of the core components of the SARIS project is the improvement of the internal control regime within public institutions.

By promoting rigorous internal audits and checks, the project aims to identify and rectify inefficiencies and corrupt practices before they escalate.

This proactive approach according to the CDD-Ghana is expected to strengthen the overall governance framework and restore public confidence in Ghana’s institutions.

Preventive Anti-Corruption Measures

Moreover, the SARIS project according to the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development places a strong emphasis on preventive anti-corruption measures.

Thus, through targeted reforms and policy advocacy, the project seeks to address the root causes of corruption and create a more transparent and accountable governance environment.

These reforms, CDD-Ghana noted are designed to promote ethical behavior, enhance transparency in public procurement processes, and ensure that public resources are utilized effectively and efficiently.

The collaborative efforts of CDD-Ghana, GII, GACC, and the European Union, underscores the importance of multi-stakeholder engagement in addressing complex governance challenges.
