About The Awards
This unique awards scheme aims to, for the very first time in Ghana, identify and publicly recognize the national security agencies, their specialized divisions and their operatives that stand out from the others across a wide range of security-related activities for the quality of their core activities both on their own and in partnership with other collaborators. It will cover the core military – army, navy and air force – as well as the police, immigrations service, fire service etc.
Awards will be conferred across over 40 different categories, through a comprehensive and credible selection process using a combination of quantitative and qualitative considerations, executed by our dedicated research consultants and our special awardees selection jury. The process involves nominations, due diligence and verification of the information contained therein, assessment, shortlisting and ultimately, deliberations by a special awardees selection jury comprising seven highly reputed financial intermediation experts and beneficiaries, with vast experience and skills in the industry as a whole.
The selected award winners will be conferred with their awards at a strictly by invitation, red carpet dinner-dance gala ceremony to be held later this year at a five star venue in Accra. The event will be the largest ever public gathering of Ghanaian public security agency chieftains, their civilian supervisors/facilitators and representatives of their wider stakeholder segments.

Awards Rationale
The Ghana Public Security Agency Awards are being organized in recognition of the crucial importance that the nation’s security agencies play in providing an exemplary platform on which Ghana’s widely applauded economic growth and development, sustained inclusive democracy, social justice and the rule of law, and its civil peace, security and stability have been built. Indeed, this role has become even more important by the outbreak of the COVID 19 pandemic which has made the public effort to curb the rate of infection – through policies such as border closure and internal restrictions on movement, gatherings and personal conduct –and maintain peace in the face of inevitable rising tensions among households, institutions and enterprises alike all the more vital.
Because of the nature of the responsibilities of public security agencies, they and their operatives are rarely acknowledged in public for exceptional performance, often done at risk to their limbs and lives. However it our conviction that public recognition of exceptional; performance and conduct in the form of awards would provide a huge incentive to the agencies and their operatives; even those who do not actually receive awards would be publicly honoured at the awards conferment ceremony and would indeed be incentivized to do even better going forward with a view to winning at subsequent editions.
Besides, the award winners would be promoted to serve as role models for the entire public security agencies sector.
