MTN Ghana Pledges $2 Million to Train One Million Young Ghanaians in Coding and Digital Skills
MTN Ghana has announced a US$ 2 million contribution to the Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations to support the Government of Ghana’s flagship One Million Coders Programme, a strategic initiative to accelerate the nation’s digital transformation agenda and deepen youth empowerment and skills development.
The funding will help the Government of Ghana to train one million Ghanaians in coding and digital skills, equipping young people with future-ready competencies to participate effectively in the digital economy and contribute to national development.
The contribution follows a commitment by MTN Group’s Chief Executive Officer Ralph Mupita and Vice President (VP) for Ghana, Southern and East Africa, and Ghana, Ebenezer Asante and Stephen Blewett during engagements with the Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations on the sidelines of the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last year. These discussions focused on strengthening public–private collaboration to build Africa’s digital capacity, unlock innovation and create inclusive economic opportunities through technology.
