Peace and Social Justice Award at a ceremony that took place Thursday, July 20, in Accra.<\/p>\n<p>Presenting the award, the U.S Ambassador to Ghana, Ambassador Robert P. Jackson said Prof. Gyima-Boadi deserved to be recognised for his contributions toward the protection of human rights.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He has championed human rights for marginalized and vulnerable populations. In doing so, he has served as an advocate for millions of people, giving them greater access to essential services and a greater voice in how they are governed,&#8221; Ambassador Robert Jackson observed.<\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;Professor Gyimah-Boadi is one of those rare men. I think Dr. King would respect the way he has asked hard questions and discerned the truth. I think he would be pleased with his tireless efforts to inform the people, so they can stand up for their rights and demand good governance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Board, Management and Staff of CDD-Ghana expressed their joy for the recognition of the hard work of Prof. Gyimah-Boadi and have also congratulated him for the achievement.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/57316710.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 3 updated by: 3 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Friday, 21 July 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-07-21 Ambassador Robert Jackson presenting the award to Prof. Gyima-Boadi &#13; Executive Director of the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), Professor E.
