Ghana has an obligation to develop a National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights to be able to implement UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human rights (UNGPS) in Ghana.
As part of the process, stakeholder institutions are required to readily contribute to the national action plan.
At a day’s national consultation workshop organised by the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) for Civil Society Organisations, and Non-Governmental Organisations among others in Koforidua.
The workshop is to engage stakeholders toward the contribution of the action plan.
The objective of the UNGPS is to allow individual countries the flexibility to tailor national responses to domestic business and human rights-related deficits.
The Focal Person of Business and Human Rights at CHRAJ, Clement Kadogbe mentioned that they have received some recommendations from stakeholders that will feed into the National Action Plan.
He hinted at organising the same workshop across the 16 regions to ensure a proactive, all-inclusive, and pragmatic action plan to help sanitise the business and human rights regime of Ghana.
