For Ndey, CDD-Ghana became a space to learn, connect, lead and grow, while building networks that continue to shape her journey.

Two weeks ago, participants at the 21st Kronti ne Akwamu Public Lecture shared their reflections on what Ghana and Africa need to do to navigate a changing global order.

From prioritising peace and security to positioning Ghana and Africa to respond with the right solutions, participants highlighted the need to strengthen SMEs and market readiness as Ghana takes advantage of opportunities under the AfFTA.

Watch what they had to say and revisit the conversation.

On International Youth Day, we are highlighting the voices of young people and their perspectives on Ghana’s democracy.

Making data available to local stakeholders is critical to ensuring that evidence can inform decisions, policies, and actions that respond to the realities on the ground.

In line with this, CDD-Ghana’s Social Accountability Team engaged stakeholders at the Savelugu Municipal Assembly in the Northern Region and the Asante-Akim Central Municipal Assembly in the Ashanti Region on findings from the 2025 Ghana Cities Monitor (GCM) Report on August 5-6.

The engagements brought together local government officials, Assembly Members, decentralized departments and agencies, traditional and religious leaders, and citizen groups to reflect on the municipalities’ liveability performance and challenges in urban governance and service delivery.

Through these conversations, stakeholders were able to engage with the evidence, share perspectives on local realities, and consider practical reforms towards more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable urban development.

The Center initiated GCM with support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation to provide comprehensive, reliable, and timely citizen experiential data on a wide array of services and infrastructure that affect the quality of life within Ghanaian cities.

The Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on internal party elections cites two CDD-Ghana research publications examining the cost of politics and campaign financing in Ghana.

We are proud to see this body of evidence contributing to an important constitutional reform effort and demonstrating the role research can play in strengthening democratic governance and evidence-based decision-making.

As part of the I AM AWARE (IAA) Project, supported by the Hewlett Foundation, CDD-Ghana's Social Accountability Team held a two-day capacity-building workshop in Tamale from July 30–31, 2026.

The workshop brought together selected members from the Karaga, Gushegu, Savelugu, and Sagnarigu Assemblies to strengthen their oversight role in the implementation of development plans, sectoral programmes, and community development initiatives.

Participants were equipped to work together to monitor service delivery, advocate for improved outcomes, and hold local government authorities accountable for more inclusive and equitable public services, particularly for underserved groups.

Ghanaians strongly support free trade. They want Africa to have a bigger voice globally. Yet, many are also considering leaving the country.

Here’s what the latest Afrobarometer data tells us:

β€’ 59% support free trade.
β€’ Only 17% have heard of the AfCFTA.
β€’ 61% say they have considered emigrating to some degree.
β€’ 62% want African countries to have a greater voice in global decision-making.

So, here’s the question:

If Ghanaians support greater African integration, why are so many also looking beyond Ghana’s borders for opportunities?

What is at stake if the multilateral system continues to weaken?

H.E. Hanna Serwaa Tetteh noted that continued fragmentation of the multilateral system would disproportionately affect countries with less power and influence on the global stage.

She stressed that sustaining the effective parts of the system is in the collective interest of all UN member states, particularly in advancing shared aspirations for peace, security and prosperity.

She made these remarks at the 21st Kronti ne Akwamu Public Lecture.
