Journal Title: American Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Innovation (AJMRI) - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The article seeks to examine the key corruption practices and their effects on the development and sustainability in Ghana; and identify action plans through existing frameworks to minimize corruption and its impacts. The study is based on secondary data sources. The study establishes that corruption is the biggest obstacle for poverty reduction, it undermines good governance and economic development, and in a nation’s political and economic operation may lead to inadequate infrastructure. It is recommended that the solutions should create transparency in operation and administration system to enhance governance effectiveness through systematic monitoring and evaluation; improve existing auditing approach; introduce national policy for reclamation of public trust in relation to corruption; and awareness creation at all levels of educational system through the media.
