The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Mr Samuel Nartey George, has reaffirmed Ghana’s readiness to strengthen collaboration on climate services and meteorological systems, describing the high-level mission by regional and international partners as “timely.”

Speaking during a courtesy call by a delegation from the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), ECOWAS Commission, AGRHYMET Regional Climate Centre, and the Ghana Meteorological Agency, the minister emphasised Ghana’s commitment to building capacity and enhancing climate monitoring through digital innovation.

Mr George also noted the establishment of a Climate Change Secretariat to coordinate national efforts in addressing climate challenges.

The five-day mission, which runs from April 13–17, 2026, focuses on technical consultations, capacity assessments, and the development of joint programmes and agreements to strengthen meteorological and hydrological services across West Africa.

The delegation was led by Dr Dayo Guiguigbaza-Kossigan and included experts from WMO, ECOWAS, AGRHYMET, and senior officials from Ghana’s meteorological and digital governance institutions.
