As part of efforts to advance alternatives to incarceration and address prison overcrowding, POS Foundation, in collaboration with the Ministry of the Interior, engaged the Parliamentary Select Committee on Defence and Interior on the Community Service Bill.

We are pleased to announce that President John Dramani Mahama assented to the Community Service Bill, 2026 on 26 August 2026, officially making it law.

This milestone strengthens Ghana’s efforts towards rehabilitation, reintegration and a more effective criminal justice system.

We appreciate all partners and stakeholders who contributed to this journey. POS Foundation remains committed to advancing meaningful justice reform and supporting the effective implementation of this landmark law.

Honored to have joined FOUNDATION lecturers, student leaders, and other stakeholders at the Accra City Hotel for an important conversation on the sensitive subject of Sexual Harassment under the Theme: _From Policy to Implementation:
Strengthening Survivor-Centered Prevention and Response in Tertiary Institutions

As an advocate for mental health and Founder of global network, an NGO that focuses on creating Mental Health Awareness for people, especially men, it was an enlightening experience as I listened to reports on progress made with sensitization on Sexual Harassment and its impact made.

I wasn't a spectator; I asked questions and made suggestions I believe were relevant to the topic: Notably, I encouraged that numerical data should be included in subsequent reports
This is relevant because, gender wise, we should be able to tell if men, young boys, and persons living with disabilities are "coming out" to make any reports or complaints.

Grateful for the insights and the commitment to build
safer tertiary spaces for students and staff.

For months, the Circles: Emerging Promising Practice in Gender-Based Violence Prevention Among Students in Tertiary Institutions project has taken us across UCC, UEW, UDS, UG and KNUST, engaging students, university authorities and other stakeholders on sexual harassment prevention and response.

That journey culminated in the National Multi-Tertiary Stakeholder Conference on Sexual Harassment Prevention and Response, where we brought together students, tertiary institutions, government, civil society, development partners and other stakeholders to reflect on the progress made and, more importantly, what needs to happen next.

The conference created space for rich panel discussions and reflections on survivor-centred approaches, institutional responsibility, prevention, reporting and support for survivors.

We were also pleased to have partners and stakeholders join us, including UNESCO, UNFPA, GIZ and the French Embassy, represented by Cooperation Attachée Madam Marine Dolomie. The conference was chaired by Madam Afia Asantewaa, a Board Member of POS Foundation.

A particularly important moment was the recognition and certification of Campus First Responders and Paralegals who have been equipped to contribute to survivor-centred reporting and response within their institutions.

We also heard a strong call from Madam Harriet Kakrani, representing the Ministry of Education, on the need to strengthen the systems and structures that support survivors. UNESCO emphasised the importance of creating safe, inclusive, equitable and respectful learning environments, while Madam Mercy C. Adjabeng called on the media to amplify advocacy against sexual harassment across Ghana.

One message brought the conversations together:

Policies are important, but policies alone are not enough. We must put them into practice.

As this phase of the project comes to an end, we look back with gratitude for the partnerships, voices and lessons that have shaped the journey , and forward to the work that remains.

The conversation continues. And so does the work.
