Citizens need clear, accessible information to participate meaningfully in the constitutional reform process and build public confidence. The Citizens’ Platform on Constitutional Reforms (CPCR) is calling for civic education funding to be set aside and protected in law, with resources released well before the referendum so citizens can properly engage with the proposed reforms.

Who should control local development funds? @ConstReformsGh believes District Assemblies should be responsible for local development, while MPs concentrate on their core roles of making laws and holding Government accountable. For CPCR, keeping these responsibilities separate strengthens accountability and protects the integrity of public spending. #CPCR #ConstitutionalReform #CitizenParticipation #LocalGovernance #Democracy

Democracy has delivered stability. But has it delivered the transformation Ghanaians seek? In this new blog, Dr. Kojo Pumpuni Asante (@KojoPumpuni), Director of Policy Engagement and Partnerships at CDD-Ghana, explores why constitutional reform could become Ghana's "second independence moment"–but only if citizens embrace the process as their own and demand governance that delivers.
