E4L Program Ghana

27/08/2026

Audit Committees across all Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in the Northern, North East, Savannah, Upper East and Upper West Regions have been inaugurated in accordance with the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921), and the Revised Guidelines for the Effective Functioning of Audit Committees, 2023, issued by the Ministry of Finance.

Each MMDA Audit Committee comprises five members, who took the oaths of office and secrecy at a ceremony, led by the Internal Audit Agency, in Tamale on Wednesday formally assuming their responsibilities for the next two years.

The Committees are expected to provide effective oversight of internal audit activities, review audit reports, monitor the implementation of audit recommendations and ensure that weaknesses in internal controls are promptly addressed.

The inauguration and effective functioning of the Audit Committees form part of the governance component of our Program; Empowerment for Life Program, (E4L Program Ghana ) which is supporting efforts to improve the functionality of Audit Committees and strengthen transparency, accountability and good governance at the local government level.

Some weeks back we were at the house to engage with the parliament select committee on and sports and other stakeholders on the non-compliance of funds allocation to NYA and YEA by the DACF.

The engagement was a tough ride through data, law and the youth aspirations but, in all a huge success. This a visual summary of the engagement, expressions and interactions.
We look forward to the next steps mentioned by the ranking member.
Like, comment and share.

At YEFL-Ghana, we've spent years pushing one simple demand 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞!!! Last week, that fight took a big step forward.

Through our "𝑭𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚" Campaign under the E4L Program Ghana we held a dialogue with Members of Parliament's Select Committee on Youth and Sports on Financing. And what a conversation it was! 🇬🇭

We walked the Committee through our campaign journey, from documenting non-compliance of the DACF on the allocation to NYA and YEA, to the harsh reality we're facing today: allocations that have shrunk to almost nothing. 📉 The data we presented was eye-opening, and the Committee didn't hold back their concern, they were genuinely moved by what the numbers reveal.

One clear message came out of the room: DACF, NYA, YEA, and the Ministry of Youth Development and Empowerment (MoYDE) all need to be at the table if this is going to be fixed. 🤝

And the in the room? They didn't just listen, they asked hard questions, voiced their frustration and disappointment, and made one thing clear: youth financing must be prioritized. Now!!!

We're now looking forward to hearing back from the Committee once they've engaged DACF, NYA, YEA, and MoYDE directly.

This is bigger than YEFL-Ghana. If you're an organization, institution, or individual who believes youth financing deserves full compliance, join us. Let's keep following the money together.

𝑴𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝑨𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒅! 𝑴𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝑨𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒅! 𝑴𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝑨𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒅!

Since 2022, YEFL-Ghana, through the Empowerment for Life Program, has been driving the "𝑭𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚" Campaign, a bold push for transparency and accountability in youth financing across Ghana.
From tracking how youth funds are allocated and utilized under the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), to engaging directly with Parliament's Select Committee on Youth and Sports, youth groups, and civil society organizations, we've kept the conversation alive on one critical issue: the shrinking government allocation to youth agencies and initiatives.
The numbers matter. The gaps matter. And the voices of young people demanding answers matter even more.
YEFL-Ghana remains committed to ensuring every cedi meant for youth development reaches its purpose. 💪

Last week, the Ghana Developing Communities Association - GDCA, through the Empowerment for Life (E4L) Program, collaborated with the Right to Information RTI Commission Ghana (RTIC) to organize capacity-building workshops for selected staff from the 10 E4L Program operational MMDAs.

The training strengthened participants' understanding of the Right to Information (RTI) Act and improved their readiness to respond to citizens' requests for information.

Following a debriefing session between E4L staff and RTIC resource persons, there was a strong sense that the workshops would help improve compliance with the Act in public institutions.
