The Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations in Ghana started the second batch of the National Girls-in-ICT (GIICT) Programme in the Savannah Region.

This initiative provides young girls with digital skills to increase their participation in the technology sector. The six-day training programme runs from November 9 to November 14, 2026, at various locations including Yamoransa Lab in West Gonja, D/A Primary School in North Gonja, the Assembly Hall in Bole, and St. Augustine Junior High School in Sawla.
