Citizens Watch Ghana, Berekum LANet Congratulate Beauty Emefa Narteh on Historic UNCAC Coalition Appointment.

The Executive Director of Citizens Watch Ghana, Mr. Simon Asore, and members of Berekum East Local Accountability Network (LANet) have congratulated the Executive Secretary of the Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC), Mrs. Beauty Emefa Narteh, on her election as Co-Chair of the Global Civil Society Coalition for the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC).


Her election, announced on October 16, 2026, makes her the first Ghanaian and the first African woman to hold the position of Co-Chair of the global coalition.

Reacting to her election, Mrs. Narteh described the achievement as both an honour and a responsibility.


“I am deeply honoured by the confidence placed in me. I see this not only as a personal milestone, but as an opportunity to strengthen the voice of African civil society, particularly women, in global anti-corruption efforts. I look forward to working with colleagues to ensure that civil society remains a strong and influential voice in advancing the implementation of the UNCAC and holding governments accountable to their commitments,” she said.


Mrs. Narteh represents Sub-Saharan Africa on the Global Coalition’s Coordination Committee, which serves as its governing board. She brings extensive experience in anti-corruption advocacy, governance and civil society leadership to the position.


Her election comes at a time when stronger civil society participation is considered crucial to translating international anti-corruption commitments into meaningful reforms and tangible results for citizens.


The appointment is also expected to provide an opportunity for African perspectives and experiences to feature more prominently in global discussions on corruption, accountability and good governance.

Mrs. Narteh will serve as Co-Chair alongside David Banisar, helping to provide leadership for the coalition as it strengthens civil society participation, collaboration and advocacy towards the implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption.


Mr. Simon Asore and members of Berekum East LANet have described her achievement as a significant milestone for Ghana and Africa, particularly in promoting women's leadership and strengthening the fight against corruption.
