Abstract

The Ghanaian judiciary faces significant challenges in reducing corruption within its departments, which has implications for justice delivery and public trust. A mixed-methods approach incorporating quantitative data analysis and qualitative interviews to assess the impact of reform measures on perceived levels of corruption within judiciary departments. During the review period, there was a noticeable decrease in reported instances of bribery among court officials, with a 20% reduction observed across selected departments. The reforms appear effective but require sustained monitoring and support to embed sustainable change within judicial systems. Continuous evaluation of reform impacts is recommended alongside strengthening institutional accountability mechanisms.
