This week, Ghana unveiled the CitizenApp, a digital platform intended to improve public service accessibility. The launching of the app, which was introduced by Ghana’s vice president Mahamudu Bawumia, is a component of the government’s plan to establish a digital infrastructure in the West African nation, he mentioned on his X account. Similar to Ghanacard, the biometric national identity card, the app has an identifying mechanism.

The purpose of the CitizenApp is to give people digital access to public services, such as tax preparation, business registration, job hunting, and access to official documents. This app’s release complements the nation’s other digital breakthroughs, which also include the Ghanacard, the digital address system, and the interoperability of mobile money.

Speaking about the app’s release, Bawumia stated: “The CitizenApp’s launch further demonstrates our commitment to enhancing interactions between government and citizens. Building this digital foundation is essential to the transformation of a modern economy in this 4 Industrial Revolution.”
