Ghana ranks 7th among African countries where people have the most freedon to speak and protest

Lesotho's 60 score means people have some space to speak and organise, but they also face significant barriers just like Ghana and South Africa which keeps the country in the Obstructed category.

CIVICUS classifies its civic space as obstructed, meaning people can participate in public life but face important restrictions.

This means people generally have a strong space to express their opinions, form groups and take part in peaceful public activities, although the country still has some challenges, including limited resources for civil society organisations.
