The ECOWAS Brown Card Insurance Scheme yesterday organised a sensitisation programme for newly admitted cadet trainees of the Ghana Police Service Academy to educate them on the Scheme, its operations and its importance in promoting cross-border motor insurance protection across the ECOWAS sub-region.
The programme highlighted the important role of the Ghana Police Service in the implementation of the Scheme, particularly in verifying the validity of ECOWAS Brown Card insurance certificates, drivers’ licences and vehicle roadworthiness certificates when road accidents occur.
The sensitisation exercise was aimed at equipping the cadet trainees with the necessary knowledge and understanding of the Scheme to enable them to effectively support its implementation in the discharge of their duties.
As part of the programme, the ECOWAS Brown Card Insurance Scheme donated three (3) brand-new laptops to the three best-performing cadet trainees in recognition of their outstanding academic performance and as a gesture of appreciation for the important role of the Ghana Police Service in supporting the Scheme.
The initiative further demonstrates the Scheme’s commitment to stakeholder engagement, public education and strengthening institutional collaboration towards safer roads and effective motor insurance administration across the ECOWAS region.
