Overview:

• There is no distinction between the registration process for secular and religious organisations which suggests that there is not a recognition system at all; for this reason, Ghana has been classified as ambiguous.

• Unregistration does not come with any penalties.

Positive elements:

• Freedom of religion or belief is generally upheld by the government despite persistent issues with the country's recognition system.

Recommendations:

• Establish provisions for the existential recognition and legal registration of religious and belief distinct from procedures for secular entities.

• Rid the system of any unstructured elements and make clarifications on elements of religious life that have not been specifically addressed in present legislation.

• To become dynamic, establish a recognition agency independent of government.
