TAHMO and GMet partnership has seen TAHMO contribute and support GMet with over 100 automatic weather stations spread across the country. TAHMO recognises GMet as the state mandated body to regulate and ensure conformity in the Ghana climate space hence the need to seek continuous collaboration and as TAHMO’s key partner.
