GACC flags persistent corruption risks despite progress in 2025
The Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC) has released its 2025 State of Corruption Report, highlighting both progress and persistent weaknesses in Ghana’s fight against corruption.
The Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC) published its 2025 State of Corruption Report, which highlights both advancements and ongoing challenges in Ghana’s anti-corruption efforts. The report evaluates key indicators, state accountability bodies, and the roles of civil society and media from January to December 2025. Progress includes the Office of the Special Prosecutor initiating 71 investigations, securing seven convictions, and recovering over GH¢11.23 million in assets.
The Ghana Audit Service recovered GH¢10 million out of GH¢150.36 million in unearned salaries through a nationwide payroll audit. However, the GACC notes persistent issues such as weak enforcement, inadequate political will, and insufficient funding as major hurdles to combating corruption. The coalition urges for accelerated reforms, increased funding for accountability institutions, consistent enforcement of anti-corruption laws, and stronger collaboration between state and non-state actors.
