MDSL donates IT equipment to NACOC

Technology company Digital Services Limited (MDSL) has strengthened the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) by donating a significant amount of Information Technology (IT) equipment. The gesture aims to enhance NACOC's digital infrastructure and operational capabilities.

The donation, presented in Accra, included 50 laptops, five iPads, two industrial printers, two enterprise-grade servers, 12 Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units, five projectors, one drone, and four all-in-one computers. Daniel Afare Dankwah, Co-Founder of MDSL, stated that the company's experience during a recent security service recruitment exercise highlighted technology gaps within NACOC.

"The engagement gave the company first-hand knowledge of some of the technology gaps within NACOC and prompted MDSL to support the commission with the needed equipment," Dankwah explained. Beyond the donation, MDSL is prepared to assist NACOC in developing a national incident reporting system. This system would enable remote reporting from regional offices and operational units, providing real-time data, geolocation, and media attachments for better decision-making.

Major General Maxwell Obuba Mantey, Director-General of NACOC, expressed gratitude for the support, emphasizing its role in enhancing the commission's ability to combat the illicit drug trade. He noted that while the government provides support, additional assistance from organizations like MDSL is crucial. Mantey highlighted that NACOC's efforts are focused on protecting the nation and its youth from the threats posed by narcotics, and the new equipment will help officers work more effectively.
