The Ghana Maritime Authority (GMA), in partnership with the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) and the Convention on Business Integrity (CBi) Nigeria, hosted a crucial training program in Sogakope, Ghana from May 20th to 23rd, 2024. This initiative focused on Corruption Risk Assessment (CRA) and Professional Ethics and Integrity Training for representatives from various maritime agencies in the country.<\/p>\n

This program has been initiated to support the Ghana government’s efforts to improve compliance with standard operating procedures (SOPs) and increase transparency and accountability in port operations. As a key maritime gateway for landlocked countries in West Africa, Ghana faces challenges in streamlining port operations, particularly regarding vessel and cargo clearance processes. These procedures can be vulnerable to corruption and compliance issues, hindering the country’s aspirations of becoming a regional maritime hub.<\/p>\n

The training targeted senior officials from all Ghanaian maritime agencies, aiming to equip them with the necessary skills to conduct a comprehensive corruption risk assessment across all port operations. This assessment will identify potential vulnerabilities and areas for improvement. Importantly, leaders from prominent Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) also participated in the program. Their involvement ensures independent oversight throughout the assessment process, guaranteeing transparency and objectivity in the findings.<\/p>\n

This collaborative effort spearheaded by the GMA, MACN, and CBi Nigeria represents a significant step forward in Ghana’s journey towards establishing efficient and trustworthy port operations. By addressing corruption risks and promoting ethical practices, Ghana is well-positioned to solidify its role as a leading maritime hub in West Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
