CDD-Ghana Board appoints Prof. Audrey Gadzekpo as new Chairperson  

The Board of Directors for the Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) have appointed Professor Audrey Sitsofe Gadzekpo as the new Chair for the Board.

This took place  during the 71st Board meeting on September 26, 2022, upon the retirement of the immediate past  Chair, Mr. Seth Dei on June 1, 2022. Professor Gadzekpo had been serving as Vice-Chair since  2018 and been a member of the Governing Board since its inception in 1998.  

As a founding member of the Center, Prof. Gadzekpo has remained a huge asset to CDD-Ghana  and contributed to the shaping and advancement of the Center’s growth. She has served in  multiple capacities, including chairing and speaking at workshops, seminars and colloquia, writing  extensively for and serving on the editorial board of the Democracy Watch Newsletter (the  Center’s official mouthpiece) and contributing to the Center’s scholarly publications. She has also 

been involved in diplomatic briefings, led media monitoring activities and provided media training  to staff.  

Prof. Gadzekpo has considerable experience engaging in media, gender, governance and  advocacy work. She has been involved in domestic and international election monitoring, anti corruption campaigns and initiatives, women empowerment initiatives, and media development  initiatives. Her rich experience coupled with her membership of the CDD-Ghana Board makes her  an ideal candidate to provide leadership, overall guidance, and direction to the Board and the  Center as a whole. 

A former Dean of the School of Information and Communication Studies, University of Ghana, Prof. Gadzekpo has close to 30 years of experience teaching, researching and advocating on issues relating to media, gender, governance, and development.
