The Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has stressed the importance the government of Ghana attches to the ongoing digitization agenda, emphasizing that a digitized, formal economy is a crucial tool of the Ghana Beyond Aid Agenda.
Dr, Bawumia said this on Wednesda 15th May 2019 when addressing participants at the Ghana Digital Roadmap Conference on the theme: Moving Ghana Beyond Aid: Expanding the local digital economy in Accra.
“Now is the time to take a critical look at our seminal ICT policy document, the ICT for Accelerated Development Policy, identify gaps and recommend changes required to provide the right framework to harness Ghana’s digital economy and also nurture our local ICT industry,” Dr. Bawumia said.
The conference was to review the Information and Communication Technology for Accelerated Development (ICT4AD) policy document in line with digital opportunities and generate ideas to develop a strategy and an implementation plan to establish Ghana as the leader in ICT innovation in Africa by 2023.
