The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) welcomes a US$9.3 million contribution from the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) to enhance access to digital technology for youth, primarily in Northern Ghana, empowering them to build resilience in food systems, improve nutrition and livelihoods.
This donation will support 15,500 Ghanaians by providing them with essential digital skills and tools including mobile technologies, precision farming systems, and digital platforms, to help promote the adoption of smart agricultural practices, and encourage healthy lifestyles.
These efforts will contribute to food and nutrition security while minimizing the environmental impact of climate change, and ultimately enhance livelihoods."WFP recognizes the transformative power of digital technologies in addressing poverty, food insecurity, and unemployment.
We are committed to working with the government and partners to narrow the digital divide in Ghana, ensuring that no one is left behind, and prioritizing inclusivity in all our initiatives," said Aurore Rusiga, WFP's Country Director in Ghana.
