Ghana's One Million Coders Program hits 12,000 completions in weeks

Ghana’s One Million Coders Program (OMCP) has reached a significant early milestone. In just weeks since its launch, over 12,000 learners have completed courses aimed at boosting digital skills. The initiative forms a key part of the country’s push for digital transformation and economic growth. The OMCP officially began on 11 May 2026. It offers a mix of in-person training, live virtual classes, and flexible online learning. This approach ensures accessibility for participants across different regions and schedules.

The programme has attracted a wide range of learners. Students, teachers, entrepreneurs, and public sector employees are among those taking part. Their shared goal is to gain practical technology skills for an evolving job market.

By recording 12,623 course completions so far, the initiative highlights a growing demand for coding and digital expertise in Ghana. Officials anticipate even higher participation in the months ahead, as more citizens seek to join the digital economy. The OMCP’s early success reflects its role in preparing Ghanaians for future career opportunities. With thousands already completing courses, the programme is on track to expand access to digital skills nationwide. The government expects this trend to support broader economic development in the tech sector.
