Ghana’s anti-corruption gains threatened by weak enforcement, funding gaps – GACC

The Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC) warns that Ghana's anti-corruption progress is at risk due to weak political will, enforcement issues, and funding gaps. In their State of Corruption Report 2025, the coalition notes that while there have been advancements in investigations, asset recovery, public education, and capacity building among accountability institutions, these achievements have not yet significantly reduced corruption risks.

The GACC identifies political will, legal implementation, consistent enforcement, and sustainable funding as key challenges hindering the fight against corruption in both state and non-state actors. They emphasize that stronger enforcement, adequate funding for accountability institutions, fair application of the law, and improved collaboration between state and non-state actors are essential for meaningful progress.

The report aligns with the GACC's broader concerns regarding the impact of Ghana's anti-corruption institutions, which can intervene but struggle to achieve consistent consequences due to structural weaknesses in governance and accountability systems.
