Gov’t advances National Data Exchange Hub under US$50m digital project – Sam George
The government is advancing plans for a National Data Exchange Hub as part of efforts to improve the sharing of information among public institutions and strengthen Ghana’s digital public infrastructure.
The Ghanaian government is advancing plans for a National Data Exchange Hub, as part of a US$50 million digital transformation project. Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations Minister Samuel Nartey George revealed this during the Government Accountability Series at Jubilee House in Accra on September 7, 2026. The initiative is a crucial component of the Ghana Digital Acceleration Project (GDAP), which is supported by the World Bank and aims to enhance the country's digital public infrastructure.
This project, alongside modernising the National Data Centres in Accra and Kumasi, is currently undergoing international review.
The National Data Exchange Hub, according to George, is designed to improve interoperability and facilitate more efficient delivery of digital government services. This aligns with the government's broader digital transformation programme, which is focused on creating systems that provide tangible benefits to citizens. The minister emphasized that technology should serve people and that digitalisation must be directly linked to improved services and opportunities for Ghanaians.
