The Deutsche Gesellschaftfür Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)-Ghana, through its Digital Transformation for Inclusive Entrepreneurship in Ghana (DTEG) Project, has partnered with the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation to conduct the Ghana Digital Economy Outlook 2025.
Commissioned on October 18, 2024 the national research study seeks to position digital transformation as a driver of inclusive economic growth, job creation, and innovation.
The initiative aligns with government’s recognition of information and communication technology (ICT) as a strategic enabler of national development.
The Outlook will assess Ghana’s digital transformation journey, identify sectors where digitalisation has significantly impacted economic activities and highlight emerging opportunities within the digital economy.
It will also benchmark Ghana’s performance against leading African economies such as Kenya, Rwanda, and South Africa, while drawing lessons from international best practices.
According to GIZ Ghana, the study is expected to culminate in a comprehensive report offering evidence-based recommendations for shaping future digital strategies.
The report will serve as a key knowledge resource for policymakers, government agencies, industry players, civil society organisations, and development partners to make data-driven decisions that ensure digitalisation delivers real benefits to all Ghanaians.
By aligning national priorities with global opportunities, the Ghana Digital Economy Outlook 2025 aims to build an inclusive and future-ready digital economy, enhance productivity, improve service delivery and strengthen Ghana’s competitiveness on the global stage.
