Ghana Integrity Initiative

Corruption Risk Assessment of Government of Ghana COVID-19 Interventions

Mission

Fight corruption and promote good governance in the daily lives of people and institutions by forging strong, trusting and effective partnership with government, business and civil society and engagement with the people

Goals

The Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII) led the multi-stakeholder project aimed at setting standards for government procurement in Ghana during and after the health crisis. The main objective of the project was to develop a study report and make recommendations to the government and private sector to ensure inclusiveness, effectiveness, efficiency, integrity, transparency and accountability in government emergency response.

Stakeholders

As part of the project, GII engaged with diverse stakeholder groups collaboratively to develop the report and recommendations to the government and private sector to ensure inclusiveness, effectiveness, efficiency, integrity, transparency and accountability in government emergency response now and in the future.

Project stakeholders included the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Health, Ghana Health Service, the Auditor General’s Department, Controller and Accountant General, Public Procurement Authority, Board of Trustees of the COVID 19 Trust Fund, media organisations, civil society organisation (CSOs), the private sector and government intervention beneficiaries.

Activities

Funded by the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) for its initial year, the social intervention research and advocacy project started with a corruption risk assessment of government emergency relief efforts across the board. The project was working towards providing Ghana with a template for undertaking Corruption Risk Assessments of all government projects that could, funding permitted, potentially be included in Ghana's Public Finance Management Law.
