Ghana Revenue Authority wins public sector PR Organisation of the Year

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has been named the PR Organisation of the Year 2025 in the public sector category by the Institute of Public Relations (IPR), Ghana. The prestigious recognition was announced during the National PR Summit, which took place from October 22 to 24, 2026. The award highlights the authority's successful implementation of strategic communication strategies designed to improve its relationship with the public and various corporate entities.

The IPR Excellence Awards serve as a primary benchmark for professional standards in the communication industry within Ghana. For the GRA, this accolade reflects a sustained effort to move toward a more engagement-focused model of tax administration. The authority was specifically commended for its dedication to professional public relations practices that foster transparency and build trust with taxpayers, which are essential components for improving national revenue collection.

Speaking on the achievement, Mrs. Florence Asante, the Deputy Commissioner of Communication and Public Affairs at the GRA, emphasized that effective communication is central to the organization’s overall mission. She noted that the award underscores the vital role strategic public relations plays in supporting organizational goals and helping the public understand complex tax obligations. According to Mrs. Asante, professional communication is a key tool in demystifying tax processes and encouraging voluntary compliance among citizens.

This recognition also signals a broader emphasis on continuous professional development within Ghana's public institutions. By prioritizing high communication standards and professional PR ethics, the GRA aims to sustain its improved rapport with the business community and individual taxpayers. This strategic focus is expected to remain a cornerstone of the authority's operations as it continues to work toward meeting national revenue targets through enhanced stakeholder engagement.
