Orders, decorations, and medals of Ghana

These were instituted in 1960 as a replacement for the British honours system that was conferred under the Gold Coast and the Dominion of Ghana.

The first National Honors and Awards ceremony under the new system was administered by Ghana's first president Kwame Nkrumah.

[1] President John Kufuor added a controversial Grand Order of the Star and Eagles of Ghana in June 2008.

The ribbon is 35 mm wide with three equal stripes of red, yellow, and green.

There are Orders within Ghana also awarded by traditional, constitutionally recognized, subnational Kingdoms.
