Girls-in-ICT Training Begins in Savannah Region
The Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations has announced the commencement of the second batch of training under the National Girls-in-ICT (GIICT) Programme in selected districts across the Savannah Region to equip young girls with essential digital skills and encourage their participation in the technology sector.
The six-day training programme, running from November 9 to 14, 2026, is being held at four centres across the region.
The centres are Yamoransa Lab in West Gonja, D/A Primary School in North Gonja, the Assembly Hall in Bole and St. Augustine JHS in Sawla.
The initiative seeks to strengthen the digital capabilities of girls, particularly in information technology, coding and other emerging technologies, while exposing them to opportunities in the growing digital economy.
It also aims to encourage girls to explore careers in technology and build the skills and confidence needed to participate in an increasingly digital world.
The programme forms part of efforts to bridge the gender gap in the technology sector by providing girls with early exposure to digital education and practical technology skills.
