Greenhill Campus(MAIN), Tema Campus,

Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) is a Public University spread over four campuses (Accra, Tema, Kumasi and Takoradi) and made up four schools, four research centers located at Greenhill in Accra, Ghana. The location of GIMPA, Greenhill, was named by the former Rector, Nicholas T. Clerk (1930-2012) The name, "Greenhill", is a reference to the lush greenery and hilly topography of the main campus, as well as its location in Legon which was historically on the periphery of the Ghanaian capital, Accra. It was established as a public university by an Act of Parliament in 2004.The institute was established in 1961 by the Government of Ghana with assistance from the United Nations Special Fund Project and was called the Institute of Public Administration.
