About CPS

Background

The Centre for Policy Scrutiny (CPS) is a Ghanaian think tank dedicated to advancing evidence-based policies and innovative solutions that drive inclusive and sustainable national development. Our work spans key areas such as economic growth, fiscal and monetary policy, trade, social protection, and employment.

What We Do

At CPS, we transform data into actionable insights that inform and influence public policy. Through rigorous research, multi-stakeholder dialogues, and strategic advocacy, we help bridge the gap between research and real world impact.

We convene policymakers, private sector leaders, civil society actors, and young people to co-create practical solutions that improve livelihoods and strengthen Ghana’s economic resilience. Our mission is to ensure that public decisions are grounded in sound evidence and that policies deliver meaningful, measurable outcomes for all Ghanaians.
