Ghana and Malawi have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening collaboration and knowledge sharing in digital transformation, public sector innovation, and the delivery of digital public services.
The commitment was renewed during a delegation visit from Malawi to Ghana's Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations in Accra.
The study tour focused on Ghana’s digital transformation initiatives and public sector innovation, according to an official statement.
"Ghana is eager to share its experiences in leveraging digital technologies to promote sustainable development and improve public service delivery," says Mohammed Adams Sukparu, deputy minister of communication, digital technology and innovations in Ghana.
According tp Sukparu, Ghana’s digital agenda focuses on strategic investments in digital infrastructure, digital identity, cybersecurity, e-government services, digital skills development, and innovation ecosystems.
The engagement provided an opportunity for officials to exchange experiences, discuss lessons learned, and explore practical approaches to addressing common challenges associated with digital transformation across Africa.
"Ghana serves as a valuable reference point for Malawi's own digital transformation efforts," says Stuart Ligomeka, deputy chief secretary in Malawi's Office of the President and Cabinet, who led the visiting delegation.
Following a review of international experiences, Malawi identified Ghana as having made significant progress in using technology to transform public services, explains Ligomeka.
"We are one people and one Africa, and it is important for us to share knowledge and our experiences so that together we can build a better Africa."
The Malawian delegation proposed sustained engagement between technical teams from both sides, noting that technical experts could pursue targeted cooperation where specialised knowledge exchange is required.
