Ghana’s Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations has commenced the second batch of training under its National Girls-in-ICT (GIICT) Programme in the Savannah Region, as part of efforts to equip young girls with digital skills and increase their participation in the technology sector.
The six-day programme runs from November 9 to November 14, 2026, across four selected training centres in the region. These include Yamoransa Lab in West Gonja, D/A Primary School in North Gonja, the Assembly Hall in Bole and St. Augustine Junior High School (JHS) in Sawla.
The training covers information technology, coding and other emerging technologies, with the aim of strengthening participants’ digital capabilities and preparing them to explore opportunities within the growing digital economy.
Through the initiative, the ministry seeks to encourage more girls to develop technology skills and consider careers and opportunities in the digital sector. The programme also forms part of broader efforts to address the gender gap in technology participation by expanding access to digital skills training.
