2 platforms launched to provide information on public debt  Two online plat­forms aimed at providing citizens with data on Gha­na's public debt for greater fiscal transparency and accountability have been launched in Accra.

The "International Monetary Fund (IMF) Bailout Dashboard" and the "Public Debt Tracker" are both to allow for citizens to actively participate in governance providing them with simplified, user-friendly and timely updates on Ghana's public debt manage­ment processes.

It is an initiative of the Eco­nomic Governance Platform (EGP), a coalition of civil society organisations focused on ensur­ing the efficient and effective use of public resources to grow Ghana's economy.

Mary Awelana Addah, the Ex­ecutive Director, Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII), launching the platform, said the platforms were important to provide citizens with real time data on Ghana's fiscal governance.
