SIGA At A Glance

The State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) is the central oversight body established by the Government of Ghana in 2019 to streamline the governance and performance of Specified Entities (SEs), including State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), Joint Venture Companies (JVCs), and Other State Entities (OSEs).

SIGA was created to address long-standing challenges associated with fragmented oversight by providing a unified, accountable, and transparent framework. This framework ensures fiscal discipline, policy harmonization, effective monitoring and evaluation, and improved information management across SEs. In line with global best practices, SIGA also ensures a clear separation between the shareholder (the State) and policy/regulatory bodies, thereby promoting fair competition and eliminating undue advantages for SOEs.

Our Mandate

The passage of the State Interests and Governance Authority Act, 2019 (Act 990), mandates SIGA to oversee and guide the operations of Specified Entities (SEs)—comprising State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), Joint Venture Companies (JVCs), and Other State Entities (OSEs).

Our core responsibility is to ensure these entities operate efficiently, adhere to high standards of corporate governance, and contribute meaningfully to Ghana’s socio-economic development. This includes acting on behalf of the State to manage and administer public interests in SEs, thereby ensuring a more coordinated and effective ownership and oversight framework.
