The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has highlighted Ghana’s ongoing digital transformation agenda, outlining key initiatives in digital public services, skills development and artificial intelligence.
Speaking at the Doha Ministerial Roundtable in Qatar, the Minister said Ghana considers digital technology a critical driver of economic growth, improved public services and national development.
He highlighted plans to upgrade the Ghana government’s platform into a single, integrated gateway for public services and establish a National Data Exchange to connect 48 government data registries.
Mr. Nartey George referenced the One Million Coders Programme, which seeks to equip young Ghanaians with practical digital skills for employment, entrepreneurship and participation in the digital economy.
He noted that 11 universities had begun embedding the programme’s certification into their academic programmes.
The Minister also referenced the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2025–2035, launched by President John Dramani Mahama in April 2026, as a framework to guide responsible AI adoption across key sectors.
According to the minister, the country’s ambition extends beyond consuming artificial intelligence technologies to actively developing them.
