Electoral Politics and Accountability

This programme deals with broad and specific questions pertaining to the management of competitive democratic politics as a credible and viable framework for sustaining peace and stability as well as nation-building and equitable development in Ghana. Issues about democratic elections, attendant transitions and post-elections’ governance are critically examined under this progarmme and analysis provided to inform decision-making, reforms and consolidation of the political and economic governance institutions, structures and processes of the state, civil society and the private sector.

Democracy and Nation Building

This thematic programme focuses on studies, reflections, debates, and dialogues that promote political consensus on pertinent issues of nation building and the deepening of democratic and civic culture in Ghana. Competitive multiparty electoral contests tend to mobilize bias and flare up the structural social cleavages in the multiethnic and heterogeneous Ghanaian society. While this tendency is cyclical and observed forcefully during electoral campaigns, its management tends to be poor and ineffective and, therefore, weakens national cohesion. This sub-program has been designed with the view to improving the management of the negative effects of electioneering on social cohesion and rendering the multiparty democratic politics a viable framework for nation-building.

Citizen's Education For Community Action (CECA)

The primary focus of this programme is to upgrade the interface competencies of state and non-state actors in order to improve the performance of their mutually reinforcing roles in the concurrent pursuit of poverty reduction, accelerated and equitable growth, and democracy and good governance in Ghana. 

Poverty, Inequality and Sustainable Development

This programme addresses issues of economic and social development policies and their effect on growth, poverty reduction, wealth creation and distribution in the medium to the long-term. Systematic studies and critical analysis will be undertaken here to improve knowledge and inform the making of policy decisions. Research will also be conducted to determine trends in citizens’ participation in economic and social policy formulation and implementation. Questions of national ownership and social policies and their impact on national development and social cohesion will accordingly be investigated.

etc.
