Evidence snapshot for Ghana
Ghana hosts several evidence-backed digital-inclusion and edtech programmes. Esoko's mobile market-information service reached over 2 million farmers and yielded price premiums of 10% for maize and 7% for groundnuts in the Northern Region. Farmerline's voice-first platform messaged over 1 million farmers, reaching users living in poverty at 54% versus the national rural average of 32%. Rori's WhatsApp maths tutor delivered a learning effect size of ~0.37 across 11 schools at ~US$5 per student per year. GIFEC operates 157 ICT training centres across all 16 regions, training 17,000+ people in Cisco courses and reaching 13,981 girls; Nurse Mary has assisted 36,500 mothers via SMS across 435 facilities in Greater Accra. The practices show scale and cost-effectiveness but do not quantify long-term outcomes or national-level impact across all sectors.
