A referendum is underway in Guinea. But the stakes are high: if @ecowas_cedeao chooses to endorse or accept it, it risks normalizing electoral autocracy and undermining its own commitments to democratic governance, contained in the protocols.

The #MDDS train made a stop in the Birim North District to conclude the report dissemination. Despite Birim North ranking highest on the scorecard with 42.4%, attendees at the meeting expressed dissatisfaction with their low performance on the community informant survey aspect.

In the final stages, Emmanuel Yeboah (@immanuel_yeboa) outlined the next steps, which include the formation of #accountability groups among the district members. He then handed over the main reports and policy briefs to all participants present.

Engage in the dialogue for better utilization of our mineral revenues.

The dissemination of the #MDDS report took place in Prestea Huni-Valley yesterday. Key stakeholders in attendance included the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), the Presiding Member, the Municipal Finance Officer, the Municipal Planning Officer, Assembly members, representatives from the Local Management Committee (LMC), persons with disabilities (PWDs), youth groups, women's groups, and community members.

A significant concern raised was the inadequate allocation of funds to the local management committees (LMCs), which hampers their ability to effectively engage with the community.

Today, the MDDS train continues its journey, making a stop in the Upper Denkyira West district.

On to the Next!

The #MDDS train has made successful stops at Wassa East and Obuasi for district-level dissemination of the MDDS report.

Next stop: Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai Municipality on June 10.

The team engaged with key members of the Assembly, mining companies, traditional authorities, CSOs, minority groups, and the local management committee (LMCs) to disseminate and deliberate on the findings from the district-specific reports.

The team further engaged with community social accountability groups to plan for the upcoming capacity-building workshop on how to monitor the utilization of mineral revenues in their districts/municipalities.

Join the conversation for better utilization of our mining royalties.

At our press conference yesterday, we put before President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo (@NAkufoAddo) seven (7) demands, all aimed at ensuring that the government and its officials are accountable, prioritize the public interest, and promote economic liberation.

On this World Earth Day, the question weighs heavily on those of us dedicated to promoting good governance and democracy: how can we sustain our work without a safe earth and climate?

Our commitment is unwavering as we strive to actively contribute to the collective endeavor of preserving our planet for the prosperity of future generations.

Here are the pledges from some of our staff.

The Network condemns the timing of the proposed changes ahead of the scheduled election, which violates the ECOWAS Protocols, as well as the use of force to suppress the rights of citizens to voice their disapproval of the amendment.
