This directive, announced during the National Girls in ICT Day celebration on Monday, September 7, mandates digital skills training for every staff member, from senior officials like the Minister and Deputy Minister to junior officers and all departments within the Ministry and its agencies.
Mr. George emphasized that the requirement applies to all levels of Ministry personnel. He instructed the Chief Director to circulate a memorandum to all agencies under the Ministry and the Ministry itself, giving staff until the end of the week to prove their registration. By the end of 2026, participants must complete at least one course and earn a certificate.
This move is part of Ghana's broader push for digital transformation and digital economy expansion, aiming to enhance digital capabilities among Ghanaians. The One Million Coders Programme seeks to build digital skills across the nation, ensuring that those leading the digital agenda also contribute to the skills development drive.
