Stakeholder Coordination and Engagement: The Plan focuses on forging strong partnerships with both internal and external stakeholders, including government and private sectors, to effectively implement policies across the communications industry. It also aims to create information-sharing platforms like forums, virtual pages, and dashboards to promote transparency and compliance.
Human Resource strengthening: This pillar aims to empower the NCA workforce by enhancing staff welfare, providing development opportunities, reducing manual tasks through automation, and promoting a paperless, eco-friendly work environment.
Resource Optimization and Growth: The Plan outlines key initiatives to ensure resources are allocated effectively and align with the Authority's goals and priorities. This includes accelerating Ghana's digital transformation by managing the radio frequency spectrum for 5G rollout and adopting new satellite services, ensuring national interest and fair competition.
