President John Mahama has made a big change in Ghana’s government. He reduced the number of ministries from 30 to 23. This decision was formalized with an Executive Instrument on January 9, 2025. The goal is to improve efficiency and cut costs.
The new structure includes important ministries like Finance, Health, Education, and Energy and Green Transition. These changes focus on key areas such as technology, trade, and sustainable development.
One significant addition is the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations. There is also a new Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry. These ministries highlight the importance of technology in Ghana’s economy.
President Mahama aims to create a leaner and more productive government. He believes this will reduce bureaucracy and help serve the people better. The focus is on effective governance that meets the needs of Ghanaians.
This restructuring is not only about reducing numbers but also making the government more accessible and effective.
As Ghana faces new challenges, this change positions the country for future success.
