Long-running work where our pillars meet. Each programme starts where we can prove it works, then travels.
Governance and Technologies Enhancement for Keeping E-Government Platforms Efficient and Reliable.
A statutory compliance and decentralisation-performance instrument for local government. GATEKEEPER checks whether assemblies’ digital platforms do what the law requires of them, and turns the findings into evidence that ministries, assemblies and citizens can act on.
Version 3 of the instrument covers all of Ghana’s metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies. The first pilot works with 50 of them.
The Africa Digital Accountability Index.
A public, comparable measure of how accountable digital government is across African countries. It draws on the district-level evidence that GATEKEEPER produces.
The index is designed as a convening and recognition platform, linked to the Africa Digital Awards.
The West Africa Digital Index.
A standalone regional index that benchmarks digital governance across West African countries, so governments in the region can compare progress and learn from each other.
WADI runs alongside the continental ADAI as its own index, with a West African lens on the questions that matter most to the region.
Ghana Digital Rights & Freedoms Initiative.
A coalition and public campaign, #DigitalRightsGhana, built on one question: Ghana is going digital, are our rights going with us?
The first focus is a strong, independent data protection authority. Founding partners will sign on at a founding meeting in Accra in December 2026, and the initiative is designed to grow across West Africa.
Working name.
An education-first internet service to connect schools and learners, starting in Ghana and designed to scale across West Africa.

Training for young people and women.
Digital literacy and advanced skills training built around the jobs and enterprises of the digital economy, from creative media to technical skills.
Participants leave with practical skills and the confidence to work independently.
Our flagship convening in Accra.
The Africa Digital Festival showcases African-built innovation and brings policymakers, founders, researchers and creators together.
