Project Coordinator - Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition

Project Title: COVID-19 Accountability Bridges: Providing Platforms for Engaging Government on Transparent and Accountable COVID-19 Expenditure

Ghana has 44,777 confirmed COVID-19 cases, with 283 deaths as at 30^th August, 2020. The effect of COVID-19 in Ghana necessitates appropriate and targeted responses from governments in order to ameliorate the effects of the pandemic on citizens and create the environment for the economy to recover. The government of Ghana has put in a place a number of measures to reduce the incidence of the COVID-19, ameliorate the effects of the virus and revamp the economy. These measures range from social intervention programs such as free and discounted utility expenses for citizens, tax exemptions for businesses and favourable loans for small and medium scale businesses. These measures have required a lot of capital.

The IMF has provided a $1 billion Rapid Credit Facility (RCF) to Ghana for responding to the corona virus pandemic. Ghana has also received $100 million for health-related logistics from the World Bank.  The donor community, international organizations and even private sector donors are offering significant additional resources in cash and materials.

This project has been designed to create sustained awareness, accountability processes and effective monitoring of Government of Ghana (GoG) in administering and utilizing COVID-19 funds judiciously, both external and internal funds.
