Activities Launch of AfriMAP research reports on Ghana 22 June 2007 In another event scheduled during the summit period, AfriMAP, the Institute for Democratic Governance and the Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA, the Open Society Institute's west Africa grant-making foundation) jointly launched two AfriMAP reports on the state of governance in Ghana. Emmanuel Akwetey, director of IDEG, and his team led and managed the research process for the production of two detailed reports on the functioning of the justice sector and the rule of law, and on the state of democracy and political participation: the reports are intended as complementary to the APRM review of Ghana, and to provide detailed and constructive recommendations for the reforms needed to consolidate Ghana's democratic progress. The team leaders and technical reviewers presented their reports, and they were formally launched by Esi Sutherland-Addy, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for African Studies, University of Ghana, and former OSIWA board member (pictured, together with Emmanuel Akwetey). The reports are available in the report section of this website.
