Ghana emerged as the number one in West Africa, 7th in Africa, and 107th globally in the latest Global Knowledge Index (GKI).
The latest ranking was announced on 13th December 2021 during an event organized by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) at Expo 2021 Dubai.
The Global Knowledge Index is produced annually by UNDP.
GKI is a summary measure for tracking the knowledge performance of countries in seven areas, including pre-university education, technical and vocational training, higher education, research, development and innovation, information and communications technology, economy, and the general enabling environment.
GKI is also used as a “systematic tool for guiding and informing policymakers, researchers, civil society and the private sector to collaborate on different aspects of policies to foster knowledge-based societies and bridge knowledge gaps”.
