In a bold step to advance research and innovation in Ghana, the government has allocated GHS50 million to the Ghana National Research Fund.
The initiative is aimed at empowering scientific, technological, agricultural, and innovative research that can significantly impact national development.
The announcement was made by Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, during the formal inauguration of the council overseeing the fund on Wednesday, June 4, 2025. He emphasized the strategic role of the fund in shaping Ghana’s progress.
“This year, the Ghana Education Trust Fund, the Ministry of Education, and, for that matter, the Government of Ghana have made an allocation of 50 million Ghana cedis for the National Research Fund,” he stated.
The Minister also noted growing global interest in the fund’s work, pointing to opportunities for international collaboration and support.
“I can assure you that there is a lot of bilateral and multilateral interest in the work of the National Research Fund, and if you do well, you will get additional complementary support,” he said.
The fund is expected to serve as a vital engine for generating evidence-based solutions and advancing knowledge across key sectors of the economy, positioning Ghana as a regional leader in research and innovation.
