Empower Women in the fight for Anti- Corruption in Ghana ~ UNDP
The Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition in partnership with UNDP has held a forum on strengthening women’s role in the fight against corruption.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) joined some 65 participants from government, academia, development, civil society, private sector and students to dialogue on the links between gender and corruption in Ghana and to identify mechanisms for strengthening women’s role in the fight against corruption. The Women in Anti-Corruption Forum was organised by the Ghana Anti -Corruption Coalition (GACC) in partnership with UNDP.
The Head of Governance of UNDP, Nana Teiba Chinbuah addressed the participants. She emphasized the impact of corruption on the development of a country as it undermines good governance and the rule of law and erodes confidence and trust in the public sector. She noted that, progress towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) would be undermined if corruption is not addressed.
“Women are the custodians of building the value systems of the next generation as they mostly take care of children. With the needed capacity and information, women can contribute to advocacy against corruption in their local communities and demand accountability from public officials”, she added. Read more.
