The operations of Susu collectors in Ghana are increasingly becoming digitised following a partnership between the Ghana Co-operative Susu Collectors Association (GCSCA) and Savings at the Frontier.
Operators of the financial scheme say with proper data build up and management, they can now easily access the information of clients for speedy service and transparency.
Savings at the Frontier (SatF) is a joint programme by Mastercard Foundation and Oxford Policy Management (OPM) Limited, aimed at improving the financial inclusion of low-income individuals and communities in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The partnership thus aims at equipping the GCSCA - the apex body of susu operators and unions - with the technical infrastructure required to digitise reporting and operations.
The Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has emphasized the importance of a regional food storage system for the ECOWAS subregion in order to ensure food security, peace and accelerated development for the millions of people in West Africa and beyond.
Speaking at the virtual International Conference on the West African Food Security Storage System in Accra on Monday May 10, Vice President Bawumia said although individual countries are making efforts towards ensuring local food security, a concerted, collective effort is important to ensure security for all.
“At a time when the global community, and indeed Africa, is reeling from the continuous threat and ravaging effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, this meeting is timely, and inspires great hope,” he stated.

Centre for purchase of e-waste established at Agbogbloshie
May 7, 2021
Waste batteries of electronic gadgets have been added to the list of e-waste being collected for safe disposal and recycling under an Incentive Payment System.
This means electronic waste collectors could send waste batteries of all types, excluding used lead acid ones though, to the e-waste management satellite handover centre at Agbogbloshie in Accra for payment.
Already, the centre accepts cables and other e-waste under the project dubbed “Recycling and Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment in an Environmentally Sound Way.”
This came to light yesterday when the Minister of Environment Science and Technology, KwekuAfriyie, paid a working visit to the centre to acquaint himself with work since the addition was introduced on Wednesday.
