Stakeholders in the Ashanti Region have been engaged as part of nationwide consultations on the new National Ethics and Anti-Corruption Action Plan (2026–2030), a framework aimed at strengthening integrity and tackling corruption in Ghana.
The initiative succeeds the National Anti-Corruption Action Plan (NEACAP 2015–2024), which concluded its implementation cycle last year.
Speaking during a two-day stakeholder engagement at the Regional Coordinating Council in Kumasi, Edem Senanu, Chairman of the African Union Advisory Board Against Corruption, emphasized the need for Ghana to focus on ethics as a missing link in its anti-corruption drive.
“We have found out that there are jurisdictions that are doing well in terms of ethics and values,” he noted. “We must help Ghanaians understand how much corruption cripples our society so that everyone gets on board in fighting it.”
Representing the Ashanti Regional Minister, Twum Samuel Nkansah, Deputy Regional Coordinating Director, reiterated government’s commitment to the anti-corruption agenda. He called on all stakeholders to rally behind the new plan to ensure its success.
The National Ethics and Anti-Corruption Action Plan (2026–2030) is designed to deepen awareness, strengthen institutions, and promote ethical values across governance and society to reduce the corrosive effects of corruption on development.
