MTN Ghana, a leading telecommunications company in the country, has announced a collaboration with the Ghanaian government to enhance digital transformation in various sectors. This partnership comes as part of MTN’s commitment to driving innovation and providing reliable connectivity solutions to the people of Ghana.
The collaboration aims to leverage technology to improve various aspects of Ghana’s economy, including education, agriculture, healthcare, and governance. MTN will work hand in hand with the government to develop and implement digital solutions that address the specific needs of these sectors.
In the education sector, for example, MTN will support the government in expanding access to digital learning platforms.

In the agriculture sector, MTN will collaborate with the government to promote digital farming solutions. This includes providing farmers with access to real-time weather information, market prices, and agricultural advisory services through mobile applications. These tools will empower farmers to make informed decisions and increase their productivity. Additionally, MTN will work with the government to digitize the agricultural value chain, enabling seamless transactions between farmers, suppliers, and buyers.
In the healthcare sector, the collaboration aims to leverage technology to enhance healthcare delivery and access. This includes the development of telemedicine platforms that enable patients to consult with doctors remotely, reducing the need for physical visits, especially in underserved areas. MTN will also support the government in leveraging data analytics to enhance disease surveillance and health management.
In the area of governance, MTN will collaborate with the government to develop digital solutions that streamline administrative processes and enhance transparency. This includes the digitization of government services to improve efficiency and reduce bureaucratic bottlenecks. Additionally, MTN will support the government in leveraging data analytics to drive evidence-based policymaking and decision-making processes.
Through this collaboration, MTN Ghana aims to contribute to the government’s vision of a digitally transformed Ghana. The partnership highlights the importance of public-private partnerships in driving digital transformation and leveraging technology to address socio-economic challenges.
Speaking about the collaboration, the CEO of MTN Ghana, Selorm Adadevoh, stated, “We are excited about this collaboration with the government to enhance digital transformation in Ghana.
