Ghana’s Sports and Recreation Minister, Kofi Adams, represented the country at the 10th Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP10) to the UNESCO International Convention Against Doping in Sport, held in Paris, France.
This year’s conference marked the 20th anniversary of the Convention, bringing together ministers, experts, and international stakeholders to review global efforts to safeguard sports ethics and promote clean sport.
In a statement, Minister Adams said, "Ghana has made great strides in this area. With the passage of the Anti-Doping Act 2024 (Act 1116), we’ve laid the foundation for a robust, athlete-centred system of integrity and accountability."
At COP10, Adams addressed the conference on strengthening international cooperation, equitable funding mechanisms, and promoting continental leadership in sport governance. On the sidelines, he engaged with representatives from the African Union Sports Council and other ministers to deepen collaboration on policy, athlete protection, and infrastructure development.
Reflecting on Ghana’s participation, Adams added, “Ghana’s voice was heard. And Ghana’s vision was clear. Our future in sport must be clean, ethical, inclusive, and globally respected.”
The minister’s engagement underscores Ghana’s commitment to fostering integrity and transparency in sport while positioning the country as a leader in African and international sports governance.
