At the end of February 2011, the World
Bank commissioned Balancing Act to assess the innovative
Information and communication Technologies (ICT)
applications already being used in the country, the impact
of these applications, and provide recommendations on how
these applications could be scaled up in the future. The
study is part of a wider World Bank initiative to scale up
the strategic application of information and communication
technology in Africa. The study takes as its main assumption
that ICT can provide a number of different ways that can
help the social and economic growth of a country. However,
it also looks at the interplay between things that ICT can
make happen and the broader factors affecting Ghana. The
structure of the report is as follows: 1) creating critical
mass - the central argument; 2) the transition from
infrastructure to services and applications; 3) the current
state of ICT-enabled services and applications in Ghana; and
4) getting from here to there: actions needed to scale-up
ICT services and apps. The methodology for this study has
three parts to it: an examination of the African ICT
roadmap; comparisons with Kenya and other countries; and the
gathering of expert opinion both from the public and private sectors. |
