About the National Honours and Awards 2024

The National Honours and Awards is a national awards ceremony that honours citizens who have rendered distinguished services to Ghana in various fields and careers.

The Award was instituted in 1960 to honour distinguished and deserving Ghanaians in various disciplines of national development and endeavour, celebrating creativity, innovation, excellence and hardwork.

The maiden ceremony of the National Honours and Awards was held when Ghana became a Republic under the leadership of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Since then, the initiative to honour deserving Ghanaians and foreign nationals, has become part of the nation.

A new category, The Presidential Honours and Awards for Distinguished Service was instituted by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in 2023 to recognise and celebrate the extraordinary contribution of individuals and institutions for their resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

President Akufo-Addo, noted with pride how citizens, institutions, and global development partners rallied together to protect human life and mobilised resources for the common good.

To be honoured this year are individuals, institutions and partners, who have distinguished themselves while serving mother Ghana with the following Award categories;

Presidential Honours for Distinguished Service Grand Medal Order of the Volta, Member Order of the Volta, Companion Order of the Star of Ghana, Member Order of the Star of Ghana, Officer.
