Ghana has launched the National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) 2026 campaign, with government and financial-sector stakeholders calling for stronger collaboration to protect the country’s growing digital economy.
The campaign was officially launched on October 1, 2026, with discussions focusing on strengthening cybersecurity as digital financial services and online transactions continue to expand across the country.
Speaking at the launch, Deputy Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Mohammed Adams Sukparu, outlined five key priorities for the campaign.
These include securing digital financial services, preventing and responding to cybercrime, protecting critical infrastructure, promoting good cyber hygiene, and investing in capacity building, research and collaboration.
Representing the financial sector, Daniel Sowah Klu, Acting Head of Cyber and Information Security at the Bank of Ghana, emphasised the need for stronger cybersecurity measures to keep pace with the rapid growth of digital financial services.
He stressed the importance of protecting financial systems and users as more Ghanaians increasingly rely on digital platforms for banking, payments and other financial transactions.
The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) said the campaign reinforces the importance of trust, resilience and shared responsibility as Ghana advances its digital transformation.
The authority highlighted collaboration among government agencies, financial institutions, businesses and the public as essential to building a stronger national cybersecurity system.
The NCSAM 2026 campaign is expected to raise public awareness about cyber threats while encouraging individuals and organisations to adopt safer digital practices.
The initiative forms part of broader efforts to strengthen Ghana’s cybersecurity resilience and ensure that the country’s expanding digital economy develops in a secure and sustainable environment.
