Who We Are

Institute of Directors Ghana is a professional organization committed to the professional practice of Corporate Directorship. Our purpose is to champion director professionalism and development through good corporate governance for the benefit of organizations, stakeholders and the prosperity of Ghana.  We are committed to recognizing and unlocking member potential through the provision of world-class learning opportunities, knowledge sharing, networking,  mentorship and promotion of world-class standards in Corporate Governance.

Our Story

The initiative to establish the Institute started in June 1998 by the Commonwealth Secretariat, the Commonwealth Association for Corporate Governance and the State Enterprises Commission of Ghana. They organized a three-day workshop in Accra and at the end of the workshop participants unanimously agreed on the need for the formation of an Institute of Directors-Ghana. Hence a task force was set up to prepare the grounds for its establishment leading to the registration of Institute on 21st May 1999 with an eleven-member Council.

After 20 years of operations under the Company’s Code, the Institute is now registered as a Professional Body under the Professional Bodies Registration Act 1973 (NRCD 143) with registration number: PB-71 effective 31st August, 2020.
