Ghana and The Gambia have forged a landmark telecommunications agreement to implement the ECOWAS Free Roaming initiative. The partnership, established through Ghana’s Ministry of Communications and Digitalisation, Mobile Network Operators, and the National Communications Authority, aims to revolutionize cross-border communication between the two nations.
The agreement, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding paves the way for technical and regulatory discussions. These preparations will culminate in the launch of ECOWAS Roaming Regulations during the first half of 2025.
Professor Ezer Osei Yeboah-Boateng, Ghana’s Deputy Director General for Technical Operations, highlighted this collaboration as crucial for regional integration. Ghana already maintains similar agreements with Benin, Togo, and Côte d’Ivoire, demonstrating its commitment to expanding affordable telecommunications across West Africa.
