Africa and the Middle East Regional Meeting
The 2022 OGP Africa and the Middle East Regional Meeting is taking place on November 1-3 in Marrakech, Morocco.
2021-2023
Action Plan 4
Ghana’s fourth action plan includes commitments that reflect national priorities, primarily around government transparency and public accountability. A lack of specificity in commitment design makes the potential for results and connection to open government unclear for many commitments. Looking ahead, stakeholders should consider revising the action plan to establish a clear implementation roadmap with concrete steps.
Ghana’s fourth action plan contains 14 commitments, many of which are reforms continued over successive action plans. These include access to information, beneficial ownership transparency, open data, and transparency in the extractive sector. This action plan also introduces new policy areas such as anti-money laundering, open parliament, and gender inclusion. The commitment numbers used in this report reflect the order in which they appear in the action plan. (More)
