Welcome to MELR
In line with Sections 11 and 13 of the Civil Service Act, 1993 (PNDC Law 327), the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations (MELR) was established by Executive Instrument (EI 28), January 2017. The Ministry is the lead policy agency of government in terms of employment and labour related issues.
The MELR has the mandate of formulating policies on employment and labour issues, developing sector plans, coordinating sector specific interventions, promoting harmonious labour relations and workplace safety, promoting the elimination of child labour, monitoring and evaluating the implementation of policies, programmes and projects for accelerated employment creation for national development.
Our Vision is to provide decent jobs for all workers in Ghana and Ghanaians working abroad.
