From the fight against galamsey to Ghana's place in an evolving global order, the Kronti ne Akwamu Public Lecture continues to convene conversations that matter.

Here's a look back at moments from last year's 20th edition, where participants explored solutions to one of Ghana's most pressing environmental challenges, Galamsey.

On Wednesday, July 29, 2026, we gather again to discuss a new and timely question. What does the changing global and multilateral rules-based order mean for Ghana and Africa's strategic positioning in the world?

The conversations continue under the Strengthening Accountability, Rule of Law, and Institutional Responsiveness in Ghana (SARIS) Project.

So far, citizen groups have led community engagements in Kabenla-Suazo and Gomoa West; student engagements in Keta and Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese; media engagements in Keta; and outreach activities with market women in Keta. Participants learned about causes and implications of corruption and available channels for reporting.

More engagements are underway as the project continues to connect with citizens across participating districts.

CDD-Ghana, in partnership with TIGhana and the Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition, implements the SARIS Project with funding support from the European Union in Ghana.

Military coups have returned to parts of the Sahel, including Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, prompting renewed debate about democracy and governance in West Africa.

Episode 12 of the Youth Unplugged Podcast, "Strongmen or Strong Institutions? Youth Perspectives on Coups in the Sahel," examines why some citizens, especially young people, appear to support military rule and whether this reflects declining confidence in democratic institutions or frustration with unmet expectations under civilian governments.

This week, CDD-Ghana commenced community-level activities under the Strengthening Accountability, Rule of Law, and Institutional Responsiveness in Ghana (SARIS) Project, with funding support from the European Union in Ghana.

The activities build on earlier capacity-building sessions that equipped citizen groups with knowledge on corruption typologies, reporting mechanisms, and civic engagement in anti-corruption initiatives.

As part of the current phase, trained citizen groups are leading sensitization forums across selected districts to raise awareness of anti-corruption frameworks and available reporting channels.

The project is also facilitating interactions between citizen groups and District Assembly Audit Committees to promote dialogue on audit findings and encourage follow-up on the implementation of audit recommendations.
