As part of the Institute’s commitment to strengthening democracy, on 14th March 2017, the IEA organised a roundtable on the theme ‘Strengthening Presidential Transitions in Ghana.’ The Presidential (Transition) Act, 2012 (Act 845) is an initiative of the IEA and the Ghana Political Parties Programme (GPPP) which emerged as a response to past transition challenges. The 2017 transition was the first time Act 845 was applied. The IEA closely monitored the transition process and held a roundtable to present the findings of its assessment and discuss the Institute’s recommendations for reform.
