The Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) yesterday launched its International Desk to address the role of foreign influence in West African governance.
The objective of the Desk is track, analyze global, continental, and regional geopolitical trends, assessing their impacts on democratic governance, civic space, and Inclusive development across Africa.
The launch, part of a regional convening on foreign powers, interests and impacts, brought together diplomats, experts and civil society leaders to examine how foreign actors shape democratic governance and how local institutions can resist malign influence.
Speaking at the event, Ghana's special envoy to the alliance of Sahel States, Ambassador Larry Gbevlo-Lartey, emphasized the need for a regional security mechanism focused on direct protection, institutional empowerment, and collaborative governance.
