0 The Bright Future Alliance (TBFA), a youth-led civil society organization dedicated to advocating and fostering good governance, fighting against economic crime (anti-corruption), and empowering young people, had the distinct honor of paying a courtesy visit to the Vice President of Ghana, H.E. Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyemang, at the Jubilee House.
This high-level engagement provided a platform to discuss pressing governance challenges, anti-corruption strategies, and the pivotal role of young people in fostering a more transparent and accountable future for Ghana and Africa.
Leading the delegation was Mr. Bright Ofori, Executive Director of TBFA, who emphasized the need for collaborative efforts to strengthen public institutions and combat corruption.
The discussion centered on enhancinginstitutional integrity, increasing youth participation in policy reforms, and developing sustainable anti-corruption mechanisms.
During the meeting, Mr. Bright Ofori highlighted TBFA’s readiness to launch the “Corporations Against Corruption” (CAC) initiative—a nationwide anti-corruption campaign targeting state-owned enterprises and public institutions in Ghana.
The initiative aims to integrate integrity-focused training and anti-corruption frameworks into organizational structures by embedding the following:
• Onboarding programs that instill ethical values in new employees.
• Procurement and business ethics training to promote sustainable corporate governance.
• Training and capacity-building workshops for decision-makers and staff to reinforce ethical leadership.
TBFA has developed a standardized anti-corruption training framework adaptable to private and public organizations, ensuring a long-term approach to promoting integrity and tackling corruption at the institutional level.
A key highlight of the meeting was TBFA’s official invitation to the Vice President to attend, address, and serve as the Guest of Honour at the upcoming African Governance and Anti-Corruption Summit in the coming weeks.
The summit will bring together policymakers, civil society leaders, youth, and governance experts from across Africa to explore innovative approaches to good governance and anti-corruption best practices.
The Bright Future Alliance also took the opportunity to congratulate H.E. Prof. Naana Opoku- Agyemang on her historic role as Ghana’s first female Vice President.
The organization wished her success in her tenure and expressed hope that the government would continue advancing good governance and work to build a better future for the youth and the next generation.
In her remarks, the Vice President commended TBFA for its efforts and encouraged young people to take an active role in the fight against corruption.
“Young people have a crucial role to play in the fight against corruption. They must be agents of change, leading by example as student leaders on campus and in their communities. By doing so, we can build a better Ghana and a stronger Africa.”
The Bright Future Alliance remains dedicated to empowering young people, advocating for policy reforms, and fostering strategic partnerships that drive sustainable development and governance transformation in Ghana and beyond.
