Samuel Nartey George , the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations, received a courtesy call from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) on 26th February, 2025.
The meeting explored potential areas of collaboration and synergy between the Ministry and the UNDP, focusing on leveraging technology for sustainable development and driving Ghana’s digital transformation.
Historically, UNDP is based on the merging of the United Nations Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance, created in 1949, and the United Nations Special Fund, established in 1958. UNDP, as we know it now, was established in 1965 by the General Assembly of the United Nations.
As the lead United Nations agency on international development, UNDP works in 170 countries and territories to eradicate poverty and reduce inequality. We help countries develop policies, leadership skills, partnerships and institutional capabilities to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Our work is centred around six core development areas, known as our signature solutions: poverty and inequality, governance, resilience, environment, energy and gender equality.
