Ghana

Ghana’s defence sector demonstrates generally moderate rule-of-law performance, supported by active parliamentary scrutiny, functioning defence committees, and formal procurement frameworks. There is space for public debate, and civil society organisations benefit from strong protections. However, gaps in law and practice persist, particularly in anti-corruption policy. Despite active budget publication, transparency is limited in key areas including, asset disposals, secret spending, personnel numbers and pay rates. Operational risk management and offset contracting record the lowest levels of performance.
