Why is it important?
Public sector records management has been a very topical issue in Africa and Ghana. It has remained a very fundamental subject in Ghana since the institution of public sector reforms in the 1990s. Before the institution of the reform programme, critical records were inaccessible due to unstructured records systems in the ministries, departments and agencies and other government establishments. It was found out that the reform programme had brought on board immense capital injection into the records management sector which enabled an overhaul of the system.
Perspectives
The paper explores the restructuring process in records management in Ghana, the legislative frameworks that has been put in place and the needed regulations to be put in place to make it more operational for efficiency in public administration.
