Ghana to establish Space Agency to coordinate national space activities

She said Ghana should position itself as a strategic hub for space science, Earth observation, satellite data, research and innovation, serving national needs while contributing to Africa’s growing space economy.

She said the proposed agency would coordinate Ghana’s space activities, facilitate research and innovation, promote public-private partnerships, coordinate international cooperation and support the development of space infrastructure.

She said Government would leverage the Ghana Space Policy to facilitate the transformation of the Ghana Space Science and Technology Institute (GSSTI) into a fully-fledged agency with the appropriate legal, institutional, technical and operational framework.
