The 2026 National Development Conference (NADEC), organised by The Church of Pentecost, has opened with a strong call for collaborative action towards Ghana’s transformation, as leaders from government, traditional institutions, academia, business, civil society and the Church converged to deliberate on pathways for sustainable national development.
The two-day conference officially commenced on Thursday, July 9, 2026, at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, bringing together key stakeholders to engage in conversations centred on national transformation, ethical leadership and value-driven development.
The opening ceremony reflected Ghana’s rich cultural heritage and highlighted a shared commitment among participants to finding practical approaches to addressing national challenges through constructive dialogue and collective responsibility.
Among the dignitaries present were the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin; the Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Hon. Ahmed Ibrahim; the Chief Justice, His Lordship Paul Baffoe Bonnie; the President of the Central Regional House of Chiefs, Odeefuo Amoakwa Buadu VIII; and the Political Advisor to the Vice President, Dr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo.
The gathering of eminent personalities from across the country underscored NADEC’s growing role as a platform for national reflection and engagement, bringing together diverse voices to examine issues that affect Ghana’s development journey.
Participants filled the auditorium of the Pentecost Convention Centre with a sense of anticipation as they exchanged ideas, shared experiences and explored practical solutions to some of the nation’s pressing development concerns.
The conference has further positioned The Church of Pentecost as a strategic partner in national conversations, demonstrating the Church’s commitment to contributing meaningfully to Ghana’s socio-economic development through faith-inspired leadership and social responsibility.
Throughout the conference, participants are expected to engage in keynote presentations, panel discussions and policy dialogues focused on sustainable development, ethical leadership, social cohesion and national transformation, in line with The Church of Pentecost’s vision of unleashing the Church to transform society through the Gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Over the years, NADEC has become one of The Church of Pentecost’s flagship platforms for national discourse, creating a space where faith, governance, academia and industry converge to address issues of national importance. The 2026 edition marks the third in the series.
