\nGhana, in the past two decades has made significant strides in deepening its democratic governance experience. Besides the holding six successful elections in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012, the country has systematically rolled out a relatively resilient decentralization process since 1988 and in recent years rolled out a national peace architecture to cement peace building as part of its democratic governance process. These achievements have consolidated inclusive governance and strengthened the effectiveness of key national institutions in the country.<\/p>\n

Despite these democratic accolades relative to the other countries in the sub-region, there still remain a need to deepen democracy, decentralization and conflict management at all levels of development. These challenges include; enhancement of representation and participation, conflict of roles between and among the arms of government and governance institutions; inadequate participation of non-state actors in governance processes; low representation of women, youth and other marginalized groups in local governance; existence of critical conflict drivers such as chieftaincy, land and natural resources, ethnic, religious and socio-cultural disputes; lack of harmonization and coordination of the peace mechanism; and a perception of corruption in the public sector.<\/p>\n
