78 ANNUAL REPORT 2011 its name the ambition: to increase focus on fundamental human rights while still strengthening the monitoring of and support for the development of the executive power, including the efforts to combat corruption. All this had to be done with sparse and inadequate funding. Since the establishment of the Commission, the Danish Embassy in Accra has consistently had the Commission on its support programme – which has probably been crucial to the office’s survival. Today, the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice is an important institution in Ghanaian society and ordinary people’s daily lives – and in reality therefore also an important element in ensuring stability and economic progress. The Danish Ombudsman has participated in the collaboration since 1995, when the first contacts took place.
