Ghana's Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr , took center stage at the 34th session of the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ), held in Vienna, Austria, from May 19-23, 2025.
Other members of Ghana's delegation included Matilda Alomatu Osei-Agyeman, Ambassador and Permanent Representative to Austria and the United Nations, alongside officials from the Office of the Attorney General, Ministry of Justice, and the Embassy of Ghana in Vienna.
In a pivotal address under the theme, "Advancing sustainable, inclusive, science- and evidence-based solutions for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals for leaving no one behind," Dr Ayine reaffirmed Ghana's dedication to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the principle of "leaving no one behind." He detailed how Ghana is mainstreaming the SDGs into national policy, prioritising energy and education, and focusing on marginalised groups, including youth, persons with disabilities, and those in the northern regions.
Dr Ayine highlighted flagship initiatives such as the "Adwumawura," a national apprenticeship program, and the "One Million Coders" project, both designed to equip youth with digital skills and foster entrepreneurship.
