The Parliament of Ghana has launched a project to enhance its economic and financial governance capacity, with support from the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO) and the World Bank. The €800,000 project aims to strengthen parliamentary oversight, improve fiscal management, and deepen understanding of economic policies among Members of Parliament.
The project, according to a press statement issued by the parliament of Ghana, will provide technical support, training materials, and peer learning opportunities to key parliamentary entities, including the Finance, Budget, and Public Accounts committees. It will also promote transparency and accountability efforts and foster greater awareness and usage of published information by the media and civil society.
Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, expressed gratitude to the FCDO and World Bank for their support, highlighting the initiative’s potential to foster effective governance, accountability, and transparent management of public resources. The project is expected to run for 18 months.
