The Ghanaian government is advancing plans to create a National Data Exchange Hub, as Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations Samuel Nartey George announced. This initiative is part of the $50 million Ghana Digital Acceleration Project (GDAP), supported by the World Bank. The project also includes last-mile connectivity and other measures to accelerate Ghana’s digital transformation.
The National Data Exchange Hub, along with the modernization of National Data Centres in Accra and Kumasi, is currently undergoing international review, George disclosed during a Government Accountability Series event at Jubilee House in Accra on September 7, 2026.
George emphasized that the hub will improve interoperability between government institutions, enabling the efficient and integrated delivery of digital public services. He stressed that the digitalisation agenda is not solely about deploying technology, but about developing systems that directly enhance citizens' lives. "Technology must serve people," he reiterated, underlining that digital transformation must translate into better public services and more opportunities for Ghanaians.
