The People's Report Card is a data-driven assessment of Ministers, Regional Ministers, and MPs against documented commitments.

Our proposed funding model includes membership dues (symbolic GH¢10–20 per year), grants from development partners, corporate social responsibility contributions, and support from international foundations focused on governance and accountability.
