The western African country Ghana observes a single time zone, denoted as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT; UTC±00:00).[1][2] Ghana shares this time zone with several other countries, including fourteen in western Africa where it was formerly known as Western Sahara Standard Time (WSST).[3] Ghana does not have an associated daylight saving time (DST).[4] It previously observed DST as the erstwhile Gold Coast under British rule between 1919 and 1942, and 1950 and 1956.
