The National Communications Authority (NCA), in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications and Digitalisation and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), is currently engaged in negotiations with relevant stakeholders in The Gambia to advance the implementation of ECOWAS Free Roaming.
T his initiative aims to reduce the cost of telecommunications services for citizens traveling between Ghana and The Gambia, fostering seamless communication and strengthening economic and social ties.
The meeting, which commenced today, November 19, 2024, will conclude on November 21, 2024, with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding(MOU) to pave the way for MNOs to start technical and regulatory discursions which will eventually lead to the implementation and launching of the ECOWAS Roaming Regulations later in the first half of 2025.
This dialogue reflects the NCA's ongoing commitment to consumer protection and regional integration within the telecommunications sector.
