Chairperson of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Ms. Kathleen Addy, has warned that declining public trust, growing economic hardship, and governance challenges are straining Ghana’s democracy, but identified civic education as a key pillar to ameliorate the situation. She made this statement on the first day of the three-day public forum organised by the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences under the theme, “Citizens and Democratic Consolidation in Ghana: Rights, Obligations, and Duties”.
According to her, although the 1992 Constitution has secured more than three decades of democratic stability, many citizens increasingly perceive a gap between its promises and their lived realities.
