The Korea Internation­al Cooperation Agency (KOICA) has launched the Project Team Volunteer Programme as part of efforts to enhance Information Communi­cation and Technology (ICT) ed­ucation in 16 high schools across the Eastern Region of Ghana.

The programme, which is to be implemented with KOICA's first batch of project team volunteers, is geared towards strengthen­ing ICT accessibility and usage while building a sustainable ICT community through improved infrastructure and professional training.

Estimated at $1.17 million, the initiative would be implemented in five phases and would involve the deployment of approximately 60 volunteers by the end of it.

Key components of the project included the refurbishment of ICT laboratories, training teachers in all 16 schools, and providing after-school ICT education.
