STRENGTHENING PROFESSIONALISM AND ACCOUNTABILITY WITHIN THE GHANA POLICE SERVICE USING IDENTITY NORMS AND NARRATIVES PODCAST

EPISODE FOUR

One of the important factors that drive successful organisation is the behaviour of the people within that organisation. In many places, corruption has become a norm - a way of life - something that is generally accepted as a behavioural standard, and has long been one of the major obstacles to improving economic efficiency and reducing poverty in developing countries. How do we change a corrupt norm? This project looks to address this question through a policy intervention, working with the Ghana Police Service, to try to change the behaviour of the traffic police through an innovative ethics training programme.
