Evidence snapshot for Ghana
Ghana hosts several evidence-backed digital and technology-transfer initiatives. Esoko's mobile market-information service reached over 2 million farmers across roughly ten African countries with demonstrated price premiums of 10% for maize and 7% for groundnuts in Ghana's Northern Region, while Farmerline's voice-first Mergdata platform messaged over 1 million farmers and reached users poorer than the national rural average (54% in poverty versus 32% nationally). GIFEC operates 157 ICT training centres across Ghana's 16 regions, having trained over 17,000 people in Cisco-certified courses and reached 13,981 girls since 2020, while a randomised controlled trial of Rori, an AI maths tutor on WhatsApp, demonstrated an effect size of approximately 0.37 (equivalent to an extra year of learning) at roughly US$5 per student per year.
