Vice President of Ghana, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to ensuring the passage of the long-awaited Civil Society (Non-Profit) Bill.
This is to regulate and strengthen the operations of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) across the country.
Speaking at the Ghana Civil Society Forum held in Accra, the Vice President stressed that for civil society to thrive and play its crucial role in national development, there must be a strong legal framework to guide and protect its work.
“The government is fully committed to creating an enabling environment where CSOs can contribute meaningfully to our democratic and development goals,” she stated.
The two-day event, organised by the STAR-Ghana Foundation, brought together civil society leaders, policymakers, and development partners to deliberate on key challenges facing the sector and explore pathways for stronger partnerships in national development.
