Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung@ 40 in Ghana Fraternity Message from the Electoral Commission of Ghana(EC) to the Friedrich- Ebert- Stiftung(FES) on the Occasion of FES’ 40th Anniversary in Ghana The Chairman, Members and Staff of the Electoral Commission of Ghana greet FES Ghana for its positive contribution to Ghana's electoral process. The story of contemporary governance in Ghana cannot be complete without a pride of place for FES. In all the collaborative efforts over a decade, FES demonstrated rare commitment to capacity building for election officials and field staff for the advancement of the electoral process in Ghana. FES knew neither fatigue nor desperation in its commitment to achieving set targets for the course of elections however daunting the challenges. Indeed, FES has been synonymous with donor support in Ghana's elections and continues to be a friend par excellence to the Commission. Congratulations FES, and may the frontiers of FES and the Electoral Commission collaboration expand to consolidate the gains of Ghana-German international co­operation to the mutual benefit of the two countries. MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS FES 63
