Hon. Samuel Nartey George (MP), Minister of Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations, was recently visited at his office by the Tony Blair Institute. The main topics of discussion at the summit were innovation, data governance, and strategic support and collaboration in technology. The astonishing success of the One Million Coders program, which has received an incredible 50,000 applications, was a major topic of conversation.
In order to reach 2 million participants and perhaps affect hundreds of thousands of students at both public and private universities and institutions, the Minister stated his intention to expand the initiative. The program’s potential to spur innovation and digital change in Ghana is highlighted by this ambitious goal.
Also, Hon. Nartey George is looking into joint ventures to offer resources and training with companies like Google, Mastercard Foundation, and ALX. To guarantee global standards and draw in Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) opportunities, the program places a strong emphasis on in-person training sessions and stringent certification procedures.
The One Million Coders initiative supports innovation, job development, and economic growth in line with Ghana’s vision for a digital future. The initiative is positioned to have a big influence on the nation’s digital landscape because of its outstanding start.
In presenting His Excellency the President’s AI and Digital Transformation Agenda, the delegation headed by the Country Director, Sam Mensah-Baah, reiterated the Tony Blair Institute’s ongoing cooperation with the Ghanaian government and the Hon. Minister.
