Background
The government of Ghana, in view of the new global trend in
development and socioeconomic advancement, has demonstrated
its commitment to the transformation of the agro-based economy
into an information-rich and knowledge-based economy and
society. This is to be achieved through enhancing training and
learning and processing and dissemination of information through
ICT offerings.
The government of Ghana within its ICT for accelerated
development (ICT4AD) policy, and the growth and poverty
reduction strategy II has undertaken a number of projects in
collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP) and other development partners to deploy ICT
infrastructure and capacity building in creating knowledge-based
societies.
Solution
MTN Ghana in partnership with the UNDP has established 10 ICT
centres in the 10 regions of Ghana. The centres are aimed at
complementing the government’s efforts to bridge the digital
divide between the served and underserved communities and also
to support the implementation of the new educational reform.
The project is concentrating on reaching the deprived areas of
Ghana that have no access to ICT infrastructure, capacity building
and its related benefits. |
