Abstract: The renewed interest in the development of the civil nuclear power program in Ghana has since seen the implementation of sensitisation and educative programs aimed at enhancing knowledge and ensuring buy-in. A compendium of activities constituting stakeholder engagement efforts was conducted since the establishment of the Ghana Nuclear Power Programme Organization (GNPPO). A survey was piloted to measure, the perception, knowledge and interest of a section of the Ghanaian society. The results provided indications to expect that the nationwide survey will make evident, the high dependence on the national grid and appreciable interest for additional capacity (mainly solar and nuclear) to the existing electricity generation mix. Although participants are aware of some adverse effects of the power application of nuclear energy, the majority would likely be willing to accept the inclusion of nuclear power in Ghana's electricity generation mix and advocate for that endeavour.
