Ghana public holidays and deterministic working-day arithmetic.

Removes: Stop hand-maintaining a holiday array copied from a news article, and stop guessing whether a settlement date lands on a working day.

Published boundaryMovable Islamic dates stay null until the Ministry of the Interior publishes an official notice. The service never guesses a date.

Exact, date-aware resolution of Ghana identifier namespaces.

Removes: Stop fuzzy-matching district names between two spreadsheets and hoping the join was right.

Published boundaryNo fuzzy matching, ever. An ambiguous lookup returns sorted candidates with an `ambiguous` outcome rather than a guess.

Source-linked public institutions and official service entry points.

Removes: Stop scraping ministry websites to find out which agency owns a service, and which URL is the real one.

Metadata catalogue of Ghanaian public datasets and how to reach them.

Deterministic Ghana-specific input validation and normalization.

Removes: Stop writing the same brittle Ghanaian phone-number regex in every project, in every language, slightly differently.

https://validate.digitalghana.dev · Web · Source

Published boundaryPackage-first and deliberately offline: it validates syntax and returns reference candidates. It never verifies identity, ownership, reachability, authenticity or legal status.

Canonical Ghana geography, search, boundaries and SDKs.

Removes: Stop reconciling three different spellings of the same town across your database, your analytics and your delivery partner.
