Dr. Tandoh mentioned that, as the national institution mandated to coordinate space science activities, GSSTI, is committed to bridging the gap between satellite data access and the computing infrastructure to institutions that need to use the data to generate actionable insights.

“GSSTI cannot do this alone. We need all stakeholders such as ministries, government agencies, academia, and the private sector to work together and develop practical pilot projects that show real value” he emphasized.

Speaking on the practical applications of Earth‑observation data, the Centre Manager of Remote Sensing and Climate Change, Dr. Kofi Asare, highlighted the significant benefits for agriculture and natural resource management.

He stated that satellite‑derived indicators such as soil moisture and vegetation health now make it possible to detect stress on farmlands early.

“The farmer no longer needs to guess. We can identify the exact part of the field with a problem and direct interventions precisely where they are needed” he said.

Dr. Asare noted the growing importance of using satellite data in monitoring and protecting natural resources, especially in mining‑affected areas.

“From sampled data between 2008 and 2024, nearly 60,000 hectares of land has been converted to mining; we can map it, monitor it, and quantify the impact using satellite data and Artificial Intelligence,” he said.

His presentation further highlighted the need to strengthen collaboration within Ghana’s Group on Earth Observations (GhanaGEO) community.

He emphasised the importance of moving from fragmented efforts toward a more coordinated and integrated ecosystem where institutions actively share data and co-develop solutions.

In a bid to tackle pressing challenges in agriculture, health, and industry, Ghana is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and nuclear science through an innovative partnership with the French Embassy.

The AI for Sustainable Development (AI4SD) project, involving the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), is transforming cutting-edge research into practical solutions that benefit communities and inform policy.

Funded by the French Embassy, the initiative provides essential equipment, training, and infrastructure to local scientists.

A recent visit by French Embassy officials to GAEC’s facilities in Accra highlighted the project’s progress, showcasing how advanced technologies are being applied to real-world problems.

At the Acceleration Research Centre, the delegation inspected the Tandetron Accelerator, a key tool for analysing materials across various fields. Dr Christian Nuviadenu, manager of the facility, explained its versatility: “Here, we operate a Tandetron accelerator.

“It’s for research, education, and training. We specialise in probing materials to know their content. So those materials can have interest in different fields of application, in medicine, food and drugs, archaeology and cultural heritage.”

He added: “We work for mines and also for food and drugs, look at food composition with respect to contaminations, work on soil and sediment on plants, etc.”

The tour also included the Ghana Research Reactor-1 Centre, a compact 34-kilowatt facility primarily used for neutron activation analysis, research, and training. Converted from high-enriched to low-enriched uranium in 2017, the reactor ensures safety while supporting vital scientific work.

Dr Kwame Gyamfi, a researcher at the reactor, noted: “This 34-kilowatt reactor is mainly used for neutron activation analysis. In 2017, it was converted from high-enriched to low-enriched uranium.”

GAEC’s efforts extend to calibrating radiation equipment for medical and industrial use. Daniel Adjei, an assistant research scientist, described their role: “We calibrate medical and industrial radiation equipment to ensure accurate measurements. This is a secondary laboratory compared to our primary detector.”

“Our services include supporting, for example, health facilities where the radiation is used for medical imaging. In the extractive industry, some mining companies use radiation sources for some of their processes. And so we calibrate all of that equipment to make sure that they are measuring the quantity of radiation that they are measuring,” he elaborated.

Following the lab visits, discussions with GAEC scientists focused on AI’s role in agriculture. Kofi Asare, manager at the Remote Sensing and Climate Centre, highlighted how satellite imagery and AI models assist farmers: “AI helps farmers monitor crops and manage droughts, improving yields in northern Ghana and Bono East.”

The project has equipped an AI lab with computers and resources to support evidence-based studies for government ministries. Prof. Francis Hasford, director of the Radiological and Medical Sciences Institute, said: “Support from the French Embassy allows us to equip the AI lab and back studies with evidence for government ministries.”

Elisabeth Morzadec, project coordinator for AI4SD, emphasised the initiative’s broader aims, stressing how the program intends to strengthen Ghana’s AI ecosystem.

“We want to strengthen the AI ecosystem and highlight our partners’ work as the project reaches its midpoint.”

By combining nuclear science, AI, and local expertise, AI4SD is fostering sustainable development in Ghana. This collaboration not only addresses immediate challenges but also builds a robust research ecosystem, ensuring long-term benefits for policy, industry, and communities across the nation.

The Director-General of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC), Professor Samuel Boakye Dampare, has raised alarm over illegal developments around the National Radioactive Waste Management Centre, warning that human settlements close to the facility pose serious risks to public safety.

Professor Dampare explained that the Centre, which stored radioactive materials used by hospitals and industries, was a highly controlled zone.

“We manage these sources because they are dangerous. People shouldn’t get close to them, but they don’t care,” he said.

Professor Dampare said this in an interview with the Daily Graphic during an inspection tour of e-waste recycling and related facilities at GAEC last Thursday (January 8), led by the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah, who is also the acting Minister of Environment, Science and Technology (MEST).

Nightmare

The problem, Professor Dampare, explained, escalated when individuals and developers began constructing structures near the National Radioactive Waste Management Centre.

“Assuming people are exposed to radioactive materials, the government would have to find money to treat them. And if we have built structures here and an accident occurs, evacuating people would be a nightmare,” he said.

He further stressed that areas housing radioactive sources were considered security zones, and as such were supposed to have constant military presence to prevent unauthorised access.

“These are not ordinary sites. They require security 24/7, but unfortunately, this has not always been the case,” the GAEC boss explained.

The National Radioactive Waste Management Centre, he added, played a critical role in the country’s health care and industrial sectors. Hospitals, for instance, use radioactive sources for diagnostic and treatment purposes, after which the materials are returned to the Centre for safe storage and management.

Professor Dampare lamented that urban development around sensitive sites often took precedence over safety considerations.

“The focus is on buildings and infrastructure, and this attitude is defeating the country. People should understand the danger they are placing themselves in,” he said.

Determination

For his part, the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah, reiterated the government’s determination to protect strategic state lands within the GAEC area.

He described some areas as restricted zones due to national security concerns and the presence of toxic materials.

“These lands are not for us alone. This generation will pass and others will come. We cannot behave as if our responsibility is to finish everything simply because we are here,” he said.

Mr Buah added that earlier leaders, including Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, deliberately preserved areas such as the GAEC enclave to safeguard Ghana’s future, and warned that the government would not tolerate encroachment.

“They are ‘no-go’ areas. Anyone who enters does so at their own risk.

The Government will do everything to protect these lands in the long-term interest of Ghana,” he cautioned.
