The government has officially launched the One Million Coders Programme, an ambitious national initiative aimed at equipping one million Ghanaians with coding and digital skills to drive innovation, job creation, and economic transformation.
The launch event, held in Accra and across other satellite stations on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, brought together key stakeholders from the technology sector, government agencies, and development partners to mark the beginning of what is expected to be a game-changing digital empowerment programme.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Minister for Communications, Digital Innovation and Technologies, Sam Nartey George, underscored the importance of the initiative in shaping Ghana’s digital future.
“We are at a defining moment in Ghana’s digital journey. A moment that is not only necessary but urgent. This is all to action to transform our economy, create sustainable jobs, and invest boldly in our people.
“We must harness Science, Innovation and Technology, not as nice words but as tools for inclusive growth, and the one million coders programme is designed to do just that,” he stated.
