The weeklong celebration would be held under the theme: "NACAP: Mobilizing National Efforts and Resources to Combat Corruption, Five Years On".

The ACT Week was adopted by Ghana in 2014 is to be celebrated in the week preceding the commemoration of the International Anti-Corruption Day (IACD) which falls on December 9 annually.

Mr Richard Quayson, Deputy Commissioner of CHRAJ, told the Ghana News Agency in Tema that 2019 marks the fifth year of the implementation of Ghana's National Anti-Corruption Action Plan (NACAP) especially the short and medium term activities.

Mr Quayson said it is important that Ghana reflects on the successes and challenges of the implementation of the NACAP as envisaged under article five of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC).

He said Article five of UNCAC, states that each State Party shall develop and implement or maintain effective, coordinated anti-corruption policies that promote the participation of society and reflect the principles of the rule of law, proper management of public affairs and public property, integrity, transparency and accountability.

The 2019 week celebration would bring together stakeholders from government, public and private sectors, academia, media, civil society and the general public among others to assess NACAP implementation.

The stakeholders would also reinforce their commitments for the remaining five years of the implementation of NACAP.

Mr Quayson said the weeklong celebration also sought to reinforce the ever-pressing need of making corruption a high risk and a low gain venture in Ghana whilst creating the needed public awareness on the dangers of corrupt practices.

The ACT Week would further advocate for a sustained inter-agency collaboration and partnership(s) and the need to adequately resource anti-corruption agencies as well as improve on the level of public awareness on corruption and the need for the availability of integrity systems.
