Africa spans multiple timezones from UTC+0 (Ghana, Senegal, coastal West Africa) through UTC+2 (South Africa, Egypt, most of central and southern Africa) to UTC+3 (East Africa — Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania). None of the major economies observe DST — Morocco and Egypt have flipped in and out over the years. Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, and Egypt anchor the regional business days across three fixed offsets.
Accra is located in Ghana and uses the Africa/Accra time zone. For anyone coordinating calls or meetings internationally, the key question is rarely "what time is it" — it's which hours in Accra overlap with your own working day. Use the world clock comparison further down the page to see at a glance how Accra aligns with other major cities.
Scheduling tip: Always reference a city name in calendar invites rather than a fixed UTC offset. Calendar apps like Google Calendar and Outlook will automatically adjust for any clock changes on both ends, so your meeting stays at the intended local time for everyone involved.
