In the lead-up to Ghana's crucial December 7 general elections, the National Information Forum held a consultative meeting with the media and other stakeholders on October 30, 2024, in Accra.
It was organized by Paradigm Initiative under the umbrella of the Digital Rights and Election in Africa Meetings (DREAM) in collaboration with Community Focus Foundation Ghana (CFF-Ghana), E-Governance and Internet Governance Foundation for Africa (EGIGFA), and the Internet Society Ghana Chapter (ISOC Ghana).
The forum aimed to engage key stakeholders in discussions surrounding digital rights, election transparency, and the mitigation of misinformation, especially during election periods.
With past iterations of this project having been successfully implemented in Nigeria, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, the Ghana edition sought to provide a platform for stakeholders to address challenges posed by digital rights issues, misinformation, and internet restrictions during elections.
