GIFEC donates to schools
The Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications
(GIFEC) has presented 600 computers to 37 community information centres (CICs)
and three schools in the country.
The presentation formed part of GIFEC’s CIC and school
connectivity project, which seeks to help bridge the digital divide between
rural and urban Ghana.
The CICs function as information hubs, providing
connectivity to the ministries, departments and agencies, private businesses
and educational institutions, as well as individuals in the beneficiary
communities.
Currently, 183 of such centres have been built around the
country,but 93 are in full operation with 16 others expected to be completed
this year.
Beneficiaries
Among the beneficiary communities are Agona, Kutunase, New
Edubiase and Mamponteng, all in the Ashanti Region. In the Brong Ahafo Region,
Tepa and Mehame are the beneficiaries.
For the Central Region, Mankron, Mankesim, Cape Coast, Gomoa
Pinanko and Afransi received 15 computers just like the other districts.
The beneficiary communities in the Volta Region are:
Juapong, Mepe, Tegbi, Akatsi, Dzodze, Tsito, Hlefi and Aveme Beme.
The schools that received the items in the Northern Region
are: the University for Development Studies, Tamale Girls Senior High and
Tamale Business Senior High.
ICT Day
Speaking at the ceremony, the Minister for Communications,
Dr Edward Omane-Boamah, said besides the computers and accessories, district
information officers had been trained to ensure that the facilities were put to
good use.
“Apart from job creation, the CICs and businesses would help
in educating and training the youth, as well as helping the Information
Services Department in information dissemination both at local and national
levels,” he said.
He urged the district chief executives and CIC managers to
make good use of the computers and accessories, adding that the
ministry’s monitoring and evaluation teams would continue to knock on the doors
of the beneficiary districts and schools to ensure that the items were put to
good use.
The Administrator of GIFEC, Mr Kofi Attoh, said in addition
to connecting the various CICs to the Internet, the fund would also provide
printers, projectors and scanners by December.
