This assessment received government comments and feedback on the finalised data. These comments have been incorporated into the assessment at the GDI research team’s discretion. Usually the comments received highlight where a bill is in formulation, or has recently passed into law, and this has been missed by the country assessor. Only comments which are grounded in evidence are incorporated into the assessment.

The Ghanaian defence sector is underpinned by robust legislation on issues such as procurement, asset disposal and anti-bribery, and it takes a strong approach to sanctions for corrupt behavior. However, its defence sector is marked by a lack of transparency across all areas of corruption risk, and a complete lack of controls in operations.
