Ghana CSOs Push for Union Government to Effectively Deal With  
Development Challenges

Participants at an interactive session on the AU Grand Debate on the  
Continental Union Government have called for the adoption of the  
Union Government proposal to be tabled at the African Union’s July  
Summit in Accra, Ghana. Under the theme “Informing Ghana’s Position  
on the AU Grand Debate”, the forum organized by the Institute for  
Democratic Governance (IDEG) and the Ghana AU Civil Society Coalition  
with support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Regional  
Integration and NEPAD had three main objectives: (a) to find out  
Ghana’s official position, if any, on the Grand Debate; (b) collect  
and collate civil society’s views on the matter; and (c) to provide a  
platform for civil society-Government engagement on the issue, aiming  
to impact the formulation of Ghana’s official position on the Debate.
