The event was first organized by the state agency, the Public Works Department (PWD). Over the years, the Miss Ghana brand which is owned by the State has been outsourced to various event organizing companies, and management of the Pageant has changed hands from Malinro Ventures, through Media Whizz Kids, Sparrow Productions and back to Media Whizz Kids. Currently, the pageant is being organized and managed by Exclusive Events Ghana, an events management company headed by Inna Mariam Patty (Miss Ghana 2004). Under the leadership of these private entities, many charity works and projects which focused on raising funds to empower deprived and vulnerable people such as the aged and street children have been undertaken.
The winner of the competition represents the country at the Miss World and also signs a one-year contract with the pageant organizer to become the spokesperson for their various charities. The winner uses her position to speak on behalf of many charities, and dedicates her year of reign to promote the cause of a specific charity of her choice. Two Ghanaian representatives at the Miss World competition have won the Beauty with a Purpose Award, Irene Dwomoh in 2007 and Stephanie Karikari in 2011. Aside the Miss World, the Pageant is also responsible for sending representatives to Miss ECOWAS/CEDEAO.
