Access to Computers and Communication Networks in Ghana

In this paper you would get a quick overview of Telecom liberations in Ghana after which the
demand for telecoms, Internet and computers is still very high. I enumerate some of the efforts to
address the need for Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in education, health
and rural entrepreneurship but restricting these efforts is the lack of firstmile solutions to reach
the rural poor.

I then discuss two locally developed wireless solutions to address the lack of
firstmile as well as elaborate on some of the capacity development institutions.

The papers ends
with the challenges faced in deploying ICT in Ghana namely regulation and policy
ineffectiveness, High SAT 3 pricing and distribution and financing of ICT Entrepreneurs.
