Evidence snapshot for Ghana
Ghana hosts several evidence-backed digital and skills initiatives. Esoko's mobile market-information service reached over 2 million farmers and generated a 10% price premium for maize and 7% for groundnuts in the Northern Region. GIFEC operates 157 ICT training centres across all 16 regions, having trained 17,000+ people in Cisco-certified courses and reached 13,981 girls since 2020, while GRATIS Foundation's network of technology centres trained 283 artisans across 11 regions. Rori's WhatsApp-based AI math tutor demonstrated an effect size of ~0.37 (roughly an extra year of learning) at US$5 per student per year in a randomised controlled trial, though the practices do not report consolidated figures on jobs created or long-term outcomes across all these programmes.
