Ghana’s Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations (MoCDTI) has begun a two-day strategic workshop with Parliament’s Select Committee on Information and Communications to align on the Ministry’s 2025 programs and policy priorities.
The meeting includes key agencies such as the National Communications Authority (NCA), Cyber Security Authority (CSA), Ghana Post, and the Ghana Meteorological Agency.
Minister Samuel Nartey George reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to legislative collaboration, announcing plans to introduce 15 new digital laws focused on areas like cybersecurity, data protection, and the digital economy. These will be rolled out in phases to Parliament.
A major reform involves transforming the National Information Technology Agency (NITA) into a purely regulatory body, with its service delivery roles transferred to a new operational entity.
The Minister also emphasized the One Million Coders Initiative, which will rely on public-private partnerships with firms like Huawei, MTN, AWS, and Oracle to provide specialized ICT training and boost digital job creation.
George urged MPs to support efforts to refurbish Community Information Centers and expand grassroots digital training.
The workshop underscores the Ministry’s push to position Ghana as a digital leader in Africa through strong legislation, institutional reform, and inclusive capacity building.
