President John Dramani Mahama has officially launched a 19-member Social Contract Task Force, mandated to monitor and ensure the delivery of his 120-day social contract commitments.
The task force was inaugurated at Jubilee House on Tuesday, February 11, 2025.
This initiative stems from the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s 2024 manifesto, which outlined a series of bold economic and governance reforms aimed at reviving Ghana’s economy and alleviating economic hardship. During its unveiling in Winneba, Mahama criticised the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, citing high inflation, currency depreciation, and soaring unemployment as failures that his administration seeks to rectify.
