What is the public problem that the commitment will address?: Ghana is endowed with substantial natural resources (e.g. gold and petroleum).

MMDAs will provide information to citizens on the usage of mineral royalty revenues.; Why is this commitment relevant to OGP values?: The commitment will help disclose more information on the usage of resources from the extractive sector. It will also help to improve rules and regulations regarding the extractive sector to bring about transparency and accountability.
