Purpose:
To outline the financial sustainability and revenue potential of the Ghana Technology Service (GTS), ensuring it can deliver reliable technology services to all government institutions.
1. Revenue Streams
1.1 Transaction Fees on Government Services
- Fees on digital payments, taxes, levies, permits, licenses, fines, and social services processed via GTS-managed platforms.
- With widespread adoption across all citizens, businesses, and agencies, annual transaction volume is projected to generate revenues in billions of USD.
1.2 Third-Party API Fees
- Charges to private developers, banks, and businesses accessing government data or services through GTS APIs.
- Provides a sustainable, recurring revenue stream while enabling private sector innovation.
1.3 Cost Savings via Centralized Procurement
- Bulk procurement of hardware, software, and connectivity reduces costs, allows redundancy, and ensures high service reliability at lower expense.
- Savings are reinvested into infrastructure and service expansion.
2. Financial Potential
- Combining transaction fees, API access fees, and procurement efficiencies, GTS is expected to generate no less than USD 5 billion annually as nationwide government digitization scales.
- Centralization ensures efficiency, cost reduction, and long-term sustainability.
3. Strategic Advantages
