MTN Ghana has committed US$2 million to the Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations to support the Government of Ghana’s One Million Coders Programme.
The funding is intended to support the training of one million Ghanaians in coding and digital skills, with a focus on equipping young people to participate in the digital economy.
The commitment follows engagements between MTN Group Chief Executive Officer Ralph Mupita and MTN executives for Ghana, Southern and East Africa, including Ebenezer Asante and Stephen Blewett, and the Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations during the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last year.
The discussions focused on collaboration between the public and private sectors in building digital skills capacity.
