Our democracy deserves better! #MinisterialVetting #Parliament #Democracy

🇬🇭 As #Ghana marks 68 years of #GhanaIndependence, the mood is mixed. @Afrobarometer data collected in August 2024 shows 66% say the economy is worse than last year, yet 45% still believe in a better future. #ReflectReviewReset #Afrobar #HopeForGhana #GhanaMonth

20 armed National Security operatives raided the unarmed former BoG Governor Dr. Ernest Addison’s residence. Intimidation tactics like this have no place in a democracy! Who ordered this? #RuleOfLaw #DemocracyUnderAttack #GhanaToday #ghanaat68 #GhanaMonth

The message is clear: Ghanaians didn’t want the e-levy. 79% said so, and now it’s gone. A rare case of policy aligning with public opinion. #DemocracyInAction #VoiceOfThePeople #CDD_Ghana #elevy #ghanadecides

CDD-Ghana launches 'Democratic Resilience' project, bringing together global partners to strengthen democratic norms in the Global South. Funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC | CRDI), the initiative is led by the Center, in partnership with Asuntos del Sur

Today, we launch our International Desk with Amb. Larry Gbevlo Lartey as our guest of honor. The desk will monitor global geopolitics, counter disinformation, defend civic space, and champion Africa’s voice in international affairs. #CDDInternationalDesk #AfricaOnTheMove

Why work for the system when you can build your own? Afrobarometer Findings show that 56% of Africans would rather start a business than queue for a desk job. #Entrepreneurship #JobsCrisis #MakeYourOwnWay

On #RepublicDay, a quick pulse check: Ghanaians 🇬🇭 still stand strong for democracy. #Afrobarometer findings show 87% reject authoritarian rule. But only 49% think democracy is working well. The demand is clear! Let’s deliver on the promise. #DemocracyInGhana #GhanaAt64

Launching soon! The #DemocracyCapture Index 2025 by @CDD_Ghana reveals how state institutions are being used or misused. Who’s holding power to account? Who’s captured? Let’s talk democracy, accountability & reform. #DEMCAP2025 #Ghana #AccountabilityMatters #CDDInsights

From Botswana (19%) to DR Congo (100%), the grip on public institutions is deepening across Africa. Ghana isn’t spared either at 35%. The silent takeover is real, and it’s happening in plain sight. Get the report @CDD_Ghana  and read it!! #DemocracyCapture #AfricaGovernance

Today, Afrobarometer launched its 2nd #AfricanInsight2025 report. Who do Africans contact more? It turns out people contact traditional leaders (37%) more than MPs (15%) or party officials. Trust in the old guard or failure of elected reps? You decide.! #TrustAndPower

Are political parties losing touch? In 21 of 29 African countries, fewer citizens feel close to any party now than a decade ago. In Burkina Faso, it’s a free fall: -45 points!! Mmm 🤔🤔 #AfricanInsights2025 #Africa #TrustCrisis

The latest #AfricanInsight2025 report confirms it: Africans love elections. But after the votes are cast, participation drops like a mic at the end of a speech. #Civicaction is fading. Democracy can’t thrive on voting alone! #GovernanceMatters #VoteAndVanish #DemocracyInAfrica

Why are Africans protesting less? From 16% in 2019/21 to just 9% in 2024. Fear? Fatigue? Futility? Whatever it is, the streets are quieter, but not necessarily because people are satisfied. #AfricanInsights2025 #ProtestRights #CivicEngagement #DemocracyInDecline #AfricaSpeaks

#ChartOfTheWeek Mmm...democracy’s foot soldiers may not have degrees... education does not correlate consistently with an individual’s propensity to engage politically, #afrobarometer data shows. #EducationAndDemocracy #CitizenEngagement #AfricaPolitics #DemocracyInAfrica

While Ghana earns high marks in international democracy indices, the reality is more complex. In new research, George Ofosu, Edem E Selormey, and CDD-Ghana co-authors analyze the country's democratic development over time. brookings.edu/articles/ghana…

It's been a minute! 42% of young Africans (18–35) without work are actively searching. That’s millions of restless, ambitious people stuck in limbo. Africa’s biggest resource is looking for a chance! #Afrobarometer #YouthUnemployment #AfricaData #JobsCrisis #HustleCulture
