- Source: Orders, decorations, and medals of Ghana
There are four orders in Ghana: Order of the Star of Ghana, Order of the Volta, Medal for Gallantry and Grand Medal. These were instituted in 1960 as a replacement for the British honours system that was conferred under the Gold Coast and the Dominion of Ghana. The first National Honors and Awards ceremony under the new system was administered by Ghana's first president Kwame Nkrumah.
President John Kufuor added a controversial Grand Order of the Star and Eagles of Ghana in June 2008.
