A multi-hazard chatbot handed over to Ghana’s National Disaster Management Organization now answers questions on floods, fires and storms on demand, in several languages, with officers in ten regions trained to run it.
A warning is only useful if it arrives. When a dam is released upstream at night, or a fire moves through a market at dawn, the last few kilometres are the hardest part of the journey, from an operations room to a phone, in a language the person holding it actually reads.
Ghana’s National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) now has a new way of covering that distance.
On 26 May 2026, at its headquarters in Accra, UNESCO handed over an AI-powered multi-hazard chatbot developed under the project “Strengthening resilience to water-related disasters under climate change for a sustainable society in Ghana”, funded by the Government of Japan. The handover transferred the tool from project deliverable to national asset, owned and run by the agency that will depend on it.
