Commemorating 2024 International Anti-Corruption Day: Empowering Youth for a Corruption-Free Future

Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII) marks the 2024 International Anti-Corruption Day under the theme "Uniting with Youth Against Corruption: Shaping Tomorrow’s Integrity." This year’s commemoration highlights the pivotal role of young people in the fight against corruption and their power to shape a future built on transparency and accountability.

With over 57% of Ghana's population under 25, youth engagement is critical in combating corruption and fostering good governance. GII calls on stakeholders to create platforms for youth participation, amplify their voices, and hold leaders accountable for their anti-corruption promises.

Together, let us build a society where transparency, responsibility, and integrity drive sustainable development.
