Case Study: the Environmental Protection Agency of Ghana achieves faster, more transparent environmental permitting with cBrain

Securing faster and more efficient environmental permitting in Ghana

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Ghana faced significant challenges due to a reliance on manual, paper-based permitting systems, which resulted in long processing times, lost documents, and poor visibility over more than 15,000 annual applications. To address these inefficiencies, the agency partnered with vendor cBrain for a digital permitting solution.

cBrain implemented a centralized digital portal and automated workflows, which replaced the manual processes. This solution was fully deployed in just four months, and it is estimated to reduce permit processing times by 50%. The agency has gained real-time visibility into all active permits, dramatically improving efficiency, coordination, and environmental enforcement.
