The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has reiterated Ghana’s commitment to strengthening collaboration on climate services and meteorological systems during a courtesy call by a high-level technical delegation.

The delegation comprised representatives from the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), the ECOWAS Commission, AGRHYMET Regional Climate Centre, and the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMA), as part of efforts to deepen regional cooperation on climate monitoring and early warning systems.

The Minister described the engagement as timely, stressing Ghana’s readiness to enhance partnerships, build technical capacity, and leverage digital innovation to improve climate data systems.
