Ghana Music Rights Organization

Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO) is a royalties collection agency within Ghana that represents the broadcast, public performance, mechanical and in some cases, the synchronization rights of music copyright holders.[1] It was created under Section 49 of the Copyright Law, Act 690 of 2005.[1][2] The agency collects royalties for music rights owners in Ghana.[3] Before 2005, that function had been operated by the Copyright Society of Ghana.[3] The organization has faced regular criticism about payment of royalties to stakeholders resulting from the failure of music users in Ghana to pay for the use of music.[2] As of 2018, the organization was led by Rex Omar.[4][5] As of February 2024, Jackson Brefo, was the CEO for GHAMRO.
