More than 100 women who run market stalls in Accra and the Eastern, central and Western regions were given a three-day capacity building workshop on the use of ICTs.

The training was an initiative of the National Communication Authority, the Kofi Annan Centre for Excellence, ESOKO and Google Ghana.

The deputy Minister of Communication, Ernest Attuquaye Armah, urged them to continue learning and build on the knowledge they had acquired at the workshop.

Dorothy Gordon, Head of the Kofi Annan Centre, said the training had focused on market women because they were influential both in their families’ lives and in the communities where they worked.

She said the training aimed to show them ways to use their mobile phones to improve their businesses.
