Youth Against Corruption ( YAC )


Corruption poses a grave threat to the stability, development, and integrity of Ghanaian society. The Office of the Special Prosecutor advocates efficacy of investigations and prosecutions in curbing corruption's tide. Yet, recognising that transforming Ghana's culture of corruption requires a comprehensive, large-scale prevention programme, the Office, as mandated by Section 2(c) of the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 (Act 959), is dedicated to taking proactive measures to prevent corruption

In alignment with its commitment to preventing corruption and ensuring accountability, the Office acknowledges the pivotal role of the youth in the fight against corruption. Young people, with their immense potential and vested interest in forging a future with minimal corruption, serve as invaluable allies in the pursuit of ethical governance. Their energy, creativity, and idealism position them as key contributors to the efforts against corrupt practices.
