The Hunger Project-Ghana commissions ICT Centre at Domi Achiansa Epicenter to bridge digital divide.
As part of activities to commemorate International Youth Day 2026, The Hunger Project-Ghana has commissioned a new Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Centre at the Domi Achiansa Epicenter in the Ayensuano District of Ghana’s Eastern Region.
On International Youth Day 2026, The Hunger Project-Ghana inaugurated an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Centre at the Domi Achiansa Epicenter in Ghana's Eastern Region. The center aims to bridge the digital divide among the nine communities it serves, including Domi, Kuano, Achiansa, Minimade, Abobiri, Asudoku, Yaw Donkor, Amenakpo, and Asare Darko.
Equipped with 11 laptops and connected via Starlink, the ICT facility provides essential digital skills training to young people, ensuring they can compete in an increasingly digital world. Upon completion, the center will train 300 young individuals from the nine communities, offering them direct access to digital resources and global opportunities.
International Youth Day 2026 emphasizes the importance of digital literacy for young people as technology accelerates and artificial intelligence reshapes daily life and employment. Mrs. Agatha Quayson, The Hunger Project-Ghana's Country Leader, highlighted the significance of creating an enabling environment for rural youth to benefit from digital technology.
She urged the government to prioritize policies and investments in digital infrastructure to prevent rural communities from falling behind. The Chief of Achiansa, Barima Korli Wayo I, encouraged the young people present to leverage the new center to develop the digital skills necessary to thrive in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
The ICT Centre's establishment aligns with The Hunger Project's broader goal of enhancing digital literacy in rural areas. In 2022, The Hunger Project partnered with Bluetown and Microsoft to deliver the Women’s Meaningful Access Project in Akode, connecting nearly 6,000 women to vital online resources.
