The Executive Secretary of the Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC), Mrs. Beauty Emefa Narteh, has made history following her election as Co-Chair of the Global Civil Society Coalition for the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC).
Her election, announced on 16 October 2026, makes her the first Ghanaian and the first woman from Africa to chair the Global Coalition.
Reacting to her election, Mrs. Narteh described the achievement as both an honour and a responsibility.
“I am deeply honoured by the confidence placed in me. I see this not only as a personal milestone, but as an opportunity to strengthen the voice of African civil society, particularly women, in global anti-corruption efforts. I look forward to working with colleagues to ensure that civil society remains a strong and influential voice in advancing the implementation of the UNCAC and holding governments accountable to their commitments.”
Mrs. Narteh represents Sub-Saharan Africa on the Global Coalition’s Coordination Committee (Board) and brings extensive experience in anti-corruption advocacy, governance and civil society leadership to the role.
Her election comes at a time when stronger civil society participation remains critical to translating international anti-corruption commitments into meaningful reforms and tangible results for citizens. It also provides an opportunity to bring African perspectives and experiences more strongly into global conversations on corruption, accountability and good governance.
Mrs. Narteh will serve as Co-Chair alongside David Banisar, helping to provide leadership as the UNCAC Coalition continues to strengthen civil society participation, collaboration and advocacy around the implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption.
