The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) has officially launched the "Safer Digital Ghana" campaign, a national initiative aimed at promoting responsible digital citizenship and equipping Ghanaians with the knowledge and tools to stay safe online.

The campaign, launched on July 16, 2025, was described by officials as a strategic awareness drive designed to address growing concerns over cyber threats, including cyberbullying, identity theft, misinformation, and online fraud.

Speaking at the launch, Acting Director-General of the CSA, Divine Selase Agbeti, highlighted the urgent need for collective action to tackle cyber risks, as reported by GhanaWeb TV on July 16, 2025.

“Cybersecurity is not solely the responsibility of institutions. Every Ghanaian must actively participate in protecting themselves and their communities online,” he said.

The campaign aims to educate the public on common threats such as phishing, malware, and social engineering, while providing practical advice on safe digital practices.

A major highlight of the event was the official signing of an ambassadorial agreement with musician and digital advocate Edem, who has been named the CSA’s Brand Ambassador for the campaign.

In his remarks, Edem underscored the importance of digital safety for Ghana's future.

“This is more than a campaign, it’s a movement. If we don’t act now to educate, inspire, and protect our people online, especially the youth, we will pay for it in ways we cannot afford,” he remarked.

The “Safer Digital Ghana” campaign is expected to roll out nationwide educational activities, social media engagement, and community outreach programmes in the coming months.

The CSA encourages all citizens to take an active role in safeguarding Ghana’s digital space by staying informed, vigilant, and responsible online.
