On Friday, Ghana’s Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations (MOCDTI) announced the launch of the 2025 Girls-In-ICT Celebration program in the Volta Region.

According to the Ministry’s official statement, this initiative will equip 1,000 girls with essential digital skills, marking a bold step toward closing the gender gap in technology.

Expanding digital training to empower girls across regions

This year, the Girls-In-ICT program has expanded its reach, aiming to train a total of 3,000 girls across Volta, Upper East, and Upper West regions, with 1,000 girls receiving in-person training in each area.

In past years, just 500 females were trained face-to-face and 500 online. To create an inclusive tech environment, the Ministry offers hands-on, engaging ICT education to all participants.

Participants will receive training in coding, basic computer operations, cybersecurity, and creative digital tools.

The program also includes mentorship sessions led by women in technology, ICT competitions, and career development workshops designed to boost confidence and inspire innovation among the girls.

The Minister highlighted that today, empowering girls with ICT skills will transform communities and contribute to national development.

Girls leading the way in digital Inclusion

The Girls-In-ICT initiative is more than just training; it is a movement led by girls for girls. On April 24, 2025, Achievers Ghana celebrated International Girls in ICT Day with a girl-led event showcasing young women’s power in tech.

Girls from underserved communities participated in workshops on coding, robotics, cybersecurity, and digital literacy, many of which were facilitated by the girls themselves.

This hands-on leadership experience demonstrated their ability to thrive with the right platform and resources.

The event also featured mentorship circles, career guidance, and a hackathon where teams developed tech solutions to real-world problems.

Stories like that of Ayisha Mohammed, a former participant who became Operations Manager at YepAfrica, illustrate the lasting impact of sustained investment in girls’ digital education.

The Girls-In-ICT initiative, launched in 2012 and supported by partners like the International Telecommunication Union and corporate entities like TATA Consultancy Services, aligns with Ghana’s broader digital transformation agenda. It aims to inspire girls to pursue STEM careers and ensure equitable access to digital tools and education for all.
