HISTORY OF GHANA R USERS COMMUNITY

The Ghana R Users Community is an offshoot of Accra R User group started by Amit Kohli with the Accra inaugural R-session of Wednesday April 13, 2016. It did not sustain itself. It was revived in 2019 by Francis Mensah and Samuel Tandoh. Ghana R Users Community was born on May 31st, 2022 when it was incorporated into the Registrar of Companies in Ghana, RegNo. CG031100522, with Dr Paul A Agbodza, Francis Mensah and Samuel Tandoh as main directors. Ghana R Users Community was founded based on the need for a national core group that will in turn support the creation of City User groups. The legal and monetary requirements for establishing a Not-For-Profit organization in Ghana were challenging, so a national R User platform can be used as a bootstrap for creating smaller R User groups until they can be incorporated as independent entities.
