s, ensuring good administrative practices and combating corruption; in the midst of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic and its accompanying fear, lockdown and restrictions. The Commission made progress in investigating and resolving complaints within all its three mandates. The implications of the COVID-19 on the political, civil, economic, social, and cultural rights of the citizenry and other persons living in Ghana were enormous. However, the Commission took steps to ameliorate some of these effects by issuing advisories to relevant institutions such as the Electoral Commission and the National Identification Authority to comply with the COVID-19 protocols in the registration and electioneering exercises. The Security agencies were also cautioned on the handling of citizens in the enforcement of the COVID-19 restrictions. The Commission further instituted nationwide sensitization programmes on anti- stigmatization and non-discrimination of COVID-19 victims. This contributed to promoting public confidence and encouraging support for victims in the communities.
