What a Licensed Ghanaian Research Firm Discloses to Procurement Teams
Data Protection Act compliance isn't optional — and neither is a business license. Here's exactly what to ask before signing with a research partner.

Survey Bridge Team
When a Ghanaian university, NGO, or corporate procurement team commissions research, they don't just ask about pricing. They ask about compliance. And they should.
Legal Requirements
Under Ghana's Data Protection Act (DPA) 2012, any entity that collects personal data from respondents must:
- ✓Be registered with the Data Protection Commissioner
- ✓Obtain explicit consent from each data subject
- ✓Implement technical and organizational safeguards
- ✓Provide data subjects with access, correction, and deletion rights
- ✓Appoint a Data Protection Officer for larger operations
