On Thursday, 21st December 2023, President Akufo-Addo launched officially the evaluation of Ghana’s maiden ten (10)-year National Anti-Corruption Action Plan (NACAP), for the period 2015 to 2024.
NACAP has been one of the major strategies and tools guiding the mobilisation of efforts and resources of stakeholders, including Government, public sector institutions, civil society, private sector, individuals and the media, to prevent and fight corruption. Indeed, NACAP was developed to align with standard global indicators, local knowledge of corruption and other anti-corruption measures on the premise that conventional anti-corruption approaches have, consistently, not yielded the anticipated results.
“Fighting corruption is a shared responsibility. This is why we must all see the evaluation of the maiden NACAP and the development of NACAP 2 as the responsibility of all stakeholders in this nation, citizens and non-citizens alike”.
“I urge all stakeholders to give the exercise the priority it deserves, provide open and honest responses and inputs, and offer their support and co-operation to ensure a successful evaluation. Let us embrace it as a beneficial learning tool, rather than a threatening scrutiny” he stated.
