CREED GHANA

Visioneering National Renewal

About CREED

CREED Ghana is a civic education initiative that takes Ghana's founding texts seriously.

We believe the National Anthem's call for "true humility" and "fearless honesty," and the Pledge's commitment to "uphold and defend the good name of Ghana," contain the moral foundations for national renewal.

We are developing curricula, training programs, and assessment tools that help Ghanaians—especially young people—move from reciting these texts to embodying their values.

Five Pillars for National Renewal

1. Civic Literacy & Values Education Teaching Ghana's moral texts as living documents
2. Ethical Leadership & Accountability The Leadership Lens: Vision, Virtue, Voice, Vigilance
3. Participatory Citizenship & Community Action Youth-led projects that translate values into change
4. Civic Technology & Innovation Digital tools for democratic participation
5. Monitoring, Evaluation & Sustainability The Renewal Index for measuring progress

About the Founder

Ben Adarkwa Dwamena, MD is a nuclear medicine physician and a professor emeritus of radiology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Born in Ghana, he developed CREED from a conviction that national renewal begins with individual character formation—and that Ghana's own moral traditions provide sufficient foundation for civic transformation.
