Religious and government leaders in Ghana are increasingly calling for the involvement of faith-based organizations in addressing national social and environmental challenges.

During the Majlis Ansarullah Ghana National Convention, Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission leader Maulvi Noor Mohammed Bin Salih and Upper West Regional Minister Charles Lwanga Puozuing advocated for moral discipline and responsible digital engagement to prevent disinformation and protect religious harmony. 

Following these calls for social responsibility, Ghana’s Minister of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Mahama Ayariga, urged churches and other faith-based groups to assist the government in combating national pollution and waste management issues, specifically citing the severe environmental degradation in the Agbogbloshie area.
