The Ghana Community Network (GCNet) is introducing an electronic Ministries Departments and Agency (e-MDA) software application that will allow shipping agents prepare their documentations, such as final clearance, report and freight rate easily, faster and sent them through online.
The new software application will have back form for the agents with functionality such as online payment, as compared to the old software application which do not have such features. It is also a centralized word based application. The new application takes effects from 20th September 2009.
This new software replaces Ministries Department and Agency (MDA) which was developed barely five years ago and only work as a single application.
In order for the agents to understand the concepts of the new software application prepare a good report and also network with a relevant internet operator, GCNet has organized a seminar for the agents in Kotoka International Airport (KIA).
Meanwhile, similar programmes have been organized and others are yet to be held for agents in Tema, Elubo, Aflao, Paga and other areas as well.
Chris Holden, the Operations Manager of GCNet proposed that all agents should start using a broadband internet rather than still using dial-up. He noted that using the dial-up does not reflect the current activities been done by both the agents and GCNet.
GCNet’s mission is to provide ICT-Based solutions that foster trade development and facilitation, and ensure effective mobilization of trade-related revenue.
GCNet have a strong desire to review the bottlenecks in the clearance process and together with stakeholders address the challenging issues in order to realize their aim of customs modernizations.
