The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has reaffirmed Ghana’s commitment to strengthening collaboration on climate services and meteorological systems during a courtesy call by a high-level technical delegation.
The delegation included representatives from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the ECOWAS Commission, the AGRHYMET Regional Climate Centre, and the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMA). The visit forms part of broader efforts to deepen regional cooperation on climate monitoring and early warning systems.
Mr George described the engagement as timely, noting that Ghana is ready to strengthen partnerships, build technical capacity, and harness digital innovation to improve climate data systems.
He also highlighted the creation of a Climate Change Secretariat to coordinate Ghana’s response to environmental challenges.
The five-day mission, scheduled from April 13 to 17, will focus on technical consultations, capacity assessments, and the design of joint programmes to strengthen meteorological and hydrological services across West Africa.
The delegation was led by Dr Dayo Guiguigbaza-Kossigan and included experts from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), ECOWAS, AGRHYMET, as well as senior officials from Ghana’s meteorological and digital governance institutions.
