NCA Hosts Stakeholder Engagement to Finalise Draft Value-Added Services Guidelines

The National Communications Authority (NCA)  has conducted a stakeholder engagement meeting at the NCA Tower to review comments received on the draft Value Added Services (VAS) Guidelines, following the closure of public consultations on 4th February 2026.

The public consultation, initiated under Section 27 of the Electronic Communications Act, 2008 (Act 775), Section 5(h) of the NCA Act, 2008 (Act 769), and Section 4.1 of the National Telecommunications Policy (NTP) 2005, was aimed at providing clarity on the regulatory framework for Value Added Services in Ghana.

The consultative process brought together stakeholders and members of the public to submit their views and recommendations on the draft Guidelines to support the development of a transparent, efficient, and consumer-friendly VAS regulatory regime.

At the meeting, Head of the Regulatory Division, Mr. Kofi Ntim Yeboah Kordieh, welcomed participants and expressed appreciation for their active engagement and timely submission of comments. He emphasized that the contributions received would play a key role in strengthening the Guidelines and ensuring that all relevant stakeholder perspectives are reflected in the final document.

Representatives from Mobile Network Operators, Consumer Advocacy Groups, and the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications actively participated in reviewing the document, providing valuable insights to ensure that the finalized Guidelines address all potential concerns.

The Authority will compile and integrate the feedback from this engagement into the draft Guidelines. A subsequent stakeholder meeting will be held to ensure that the final document reflects all inputs and meets the needs of the sector and consumers.
