The Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications
(GIFEC) has presented 500 computers and uninterrupted power systems to 25
girlss senior high schools and 10 Integrated Community Centres for Employable
Skills (ICCES) in the country.
The presentation formed part of GIFEC’s school connectivity
projects which seeks to help bridge the digital divide between rural and urban
Ghana.
Besides helping to equip students of the beneficiary schools

Apart from the computers and the UPS which cost GH¢
1,020,000, the schools are also expected to receive scanners, printers,
