Ghana is going digital, but are Ghanaians building the technology?

This could measure: Number of software developers and digital professionals; Annual revenue of Ghanaian software companies; Value of locally developed software; Government ICT expenditure retained domestically; Value of digital services exported; Software and technology imports; Foreign software licence expenditure; Number of locally owned digital platforms; Government systems developed or maintained locally; and Intellectual property generated by Ghanaian technology companies and researchers.

A new national target Ghana should set a national ambition: By 2030, every major government digital investment should demonstrably increase Ghana’s domestic digital productive capacity.
