  • Report on the First Session of the Seventh Parliament
    Authors: Ernest Nii Ashitey Armah, Odekro PMO Dr. Kwabena Sarfo Sarfo-Kantankah, University of Cape Coast Professor Gretchen Bauer, University of Delaware Gifty Mensah, Odekro PMO With input, oversight and editorial support from: Kobby Graham, Lecturer, Ashesi University Kinna Likimani, Odekro Director of M&E and Special Projects Nehemiah Attigah, Odekro Co-founder & Principal Lead Ian Gregorio-de Souza, Technical Lead 2 Odekro :: The First Session of the Seventh Parliament About Odekro A well-functioning democracy is built on a foundation of transparency and accountability. In our traditional tripartite system of government, the legislative arm bears primary responsibility for shining the light of scrutiny on the business of government and in holding public officials to account. Yet, information with which to assess the work of the Ghanaian Parliament itself or to hold MPs accountable is often lacking. While occasional assessments of individual Parliamentarians can provide useful information, a more comprehensive approach to parliamentary monitoring can often yield deeper insights into Parliament’s effectiveness. Odekro seeks to promote transparency, accountability and democratic governance through citizen action and engagement with the Parliament of Ghana and other government agencies. The Odekro platform promotes transparency and popular participation by providing free public online access to Bills, Motions, and parliamentary Debates (Hansards). The Hansards and parliamentary data are extracted from purchased and scanned documents, Parliamentary Clerks, and portable document formats (PDFs) published openly on the Parliament of Ghana website. Odekro uses a set of indicators to assess and measure the performance of Parliament. These indicators are derived from a series of variables and are combined into an index to measure variations in the quality, quantity, and output of legislative activity and to facilitate engagements with the public and other stakeholders.

Adeiza University of Washington Abstract Digital Media and Presidential Campaigning in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Study of the 2016 Election in Ghana Matthew O. Adeiza Chair of the Supervisory Committee Dr. Matthew J. Powers Department of Communication The dissertation is a study of how presidential campaigns in new democracies in Sub- Saharan Africa use digital media to organize their teams and mobilize voters, with a focus on the 2016 presidential election in Ghana. Political campaigns aim to reach and convince the highest number of voters possible to vote for the campaigns’ preferred candidates. To do this, they use different strategies and tools to communicate their ideas and promises to voters. The literature on African elections suggests that campaigns try to mobilize voters by developing clientelist relationships with them, and they mostly engage in valence campaigning because they do not have ideological policies to communicate. The literature on political campaigning in the US and Western Europe suggests that campaigns increasing aim to develop custom online platforms to organize their teams, raise funds, and mobilize voters. The goal of the dissertation was to investigate how these scholarly assertions held up in the 2016 presidential election in Ghana. The study was centered on a four-month fieldwork in the country that included interviews with, and observations of, major political actors in the months before the November 2016 election.
