Advocacy

We focus on securing the signing and ratification of the treaty by as many African governments as possible alongside our global partners, Integrity Initiatives International (III). Through our offices in Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, and Ethiopia, we are leading advocacy campaigns and media outreach efforts in partnership with grassroots organisations. Our work also involves navigating complex political landscapes, managing partnerships, and building support from key stakeholders. In August 2024, GGA’s Executive Director of Global Governance Programmes, Ruth Kolevsohn, joined international legal experts in Hamburg, Germany, for a key committee meeting hosted by The New Institute. This meeting marked significant progress toward drafting a model treaty that will guide the Court’s establishment. At GGA, we are guided by our theory of change, which emphasises that effective governance and active citizenship reduce poverty, create jobs, and promote equality. By participating in this campaign, we are advancing accountability and transparency, essential foundations for sustainable development. By supporting the establishment of the IACCourt, GGA is helping to create a future where corruption no longer holds back Africa’s potential. Together, we can foster a continent where good governance benefits everyone.
