The European Union (EU) and Germany have launched a three-year project titled "Strengthening the Rule of Law and fight against corruption in Ghana" to support good governance and foster accountability.
The project, under the Participation, Accountability and Integrity for Resilient Democracy (PAIReD) programme will focus on enhancing the capacity of Ghana's Judicial and law enforcement institutions to improve access to justice and empower civil society and the media to hold public officials accountable.
The 12.7 million Euro project is being co-funded by the EU, Germany and Switzerland with the aim of increasing the capacity of key anti-corruption institutions to tackle corruption, including actions under a revised National Anti-Corruption Action Plan.
It will also provide civil society and the media with tools to expose corruption in the use of public funds; educate the public on corruption and how to deal with it; and advocate the necessary changes to legislation and policy.
