The Constitution Review Committee (CRC) has announced a series of stakeholder and public engagements as part of its efforts to gather nationwide input on proposed amendments to Ghana’s Constitution.

These engagements will include targeted consultations with experts and organizations, as well as open forums for the general public at zonal locations across the country.

• The Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary
• Independent Constitutional Bodies
• Political Parties and Governance Structures
• Social and Economic Rights, National Development Policy, and Discretionary Power

Submissions on these topics must be received by March 20, 2025, with specific deadlines for each category.

The CRC will also hold open public discussions in various regions to allow citizens to contribute their views. The engagements will take place in Accra, Tamale, Bolgatanga, Wa, Kumasi, Takoradi, Cape Coast, Koforidua, and Ho, starting from April 7 through May 6, 2025.
