About [Edit]
ISODEC is a Ghanaian Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) founded in 1987. ISODEC is made up of 3 national affiliate bodies and two international joint venture operations in the West Africa sub-region.
Our empowerment activities are grounded in the belief that there are rights to global citizenship arising from the essential value of human dignity and freedom.
In 2000 ISODEC launched a research and advocacy programme (RBA) aimed at promoting national development alternatives principally in Ghana and, to some extent, in the West Africa sub-region.
This programme, sought to: confront the neoliberal policy measures promoted largely by the international donor community; promote accountability by the state to its citizens; instil civil activism through rights awareness creation, rights promotion and defence and economic literacy; and promote social equity through the responsible use of public resources.
ISODEC works in an integrated and multidisciplinary manner linking the grassroots to the national and global to effectively implement its programme. These activities are being executed through two main units - The Centre for Budget Advocacy at the national and West African sub-region and the Media and Campaigns at the grassroot level.
