The effectiveness of Ghana’s digital transformation agenda is undergirded by a clearly defined digital policy and strategy, according to Communications and Digitalization minister, Ursula Owusu.
She disclosed this when she delivered a keynote address at the ITU Academic Conference, ‘Kaleidoscope Accra 2022’.
She revealed the ministry is currently leading stakeholder engagement efforts on Ghana’s draft Digital Economy Policy for inputs to ensure inclusiveness and comprehensiveness.
She stressed that building advanced capabilities in data science and emerging technologies is an important part of the digital economy value chain.
“Our capacity development agency, the Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT (GI-KACE) has been at the forefront of training the next generation of Data Scientists and Ai professionals and advancing research for sustainable development” she stated.
The aim of the Kaleidoscope conferences is to identify emerging developments in information and communication technologies (ICTs) and, in particular, areas in need of international standards to aid the sustainable development of our interconnected world.
