Accra: Mobile telecommunications giant, MTN Ghana, is targeting an incorporation of 75 percent digital capability and skills training in the country by the year 2025. According to Ghana News Agency, the move forms part of the strategic re-focusing of the MTN Ghana Foundation, the charity arm of the mobile network provider.

In a presentation by the Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer at MTN Ghana, Madam Adwoa Wiafe, it was mentioned that the network hoped to achieve the set target through digital projects, community support programmes, and the national priority areas. Madam Wiafe was addressing the media at the 2024 fourth quarter Media Republic Connect, a platform to engage the media and update them on the company’s operations, held at the office of MTN Ghana.

She explained that they had set up the Mamfe Girls Robotics Lab to serve as a resource centre for Senior High Schools within the community and also handed over a 40-seater ICT lab at Yilo Krobo. They had also provided equipment for the
Wiamose ICT Facility and a Digital Health Diagnostic Equipment in digital projects.

For the Community Support Programmes, Madam Wiafe said they had undertaken digital skills training for the youth, women, and persons with disabilities through their Digital Skills for Digital Jobs, Y’ello Care, Bright Scholarship for tertiary level STEM students, and other Enterprise Programmes.

Since the inception of the MTN Ghana Foundation, they have invested GH106.5 million in social impact and projects impacting about 4.5 million lives directly and indirectly while completing 166 projects. ‘Our vision is to create sustainable digital solutions that impact communities and touch 100,000 lives by 2025, and continue to embrace innovation to drive social change, nurture effective collaborations, and empower individuals in underserved communities,’ she said.

Madam Wiafe stated that MTN was committed to sustainability through Project Zero, focusing on expanding broadband coverage to increase access and empowering women in the
workforce through hiring, succession programmes, and technology initiatives. She further mentioned that they hoped to grow active subscribers, merchants, and agents year over year while enhancing customer experience with increased adoption of advanced services and self-upgrade initiatives.
