Our Executive Director Jerry Sam has been leading the development of a communication strategy at the ongoing three-day Strategic Implementation Workshop for the Open Parliament Working Group organized by the Parliament of Ghana since Monday.

The communication strategy is aimed at increasing public awareness of Ghana’s Open Parliament Initiative and encouraging citizens to make use of Parliament’s Citizens Bureau as a channel for engagement and participation.

The workshop is focused on reviewing commitments under the Open Parliament Action Plan (OPAP) and strengthening implementation strategies to advance transparency, accountability, and citizen participation in parliamentary processes.

As a member of the Open Parliament Steering Committee, Penplusbytes continues to support efforts aimed at building a more open, inclusive, and citizen-centred Parliament in Ghana.
