Ghana's One Million Coders Program hits 12,623 course completions in 2026

Ghana’s One Million Coders Program (OMCP) has seen strong uptake, with 12,623 course completions so far. The initiative, part of the country’s digital transformation push, aims to build practical tech skills for the future workforce. Phase Two of the programme officially began on 11 May 2026. OMCP offers a mix of in-person training, virtual classes, and self-paced online courses. This flexible approach has attracted a wide range of participants, including students, teachers, entrepreneurs, and public sector employees. The growing number of enrolments reflects increasing demand for digital and coding skills across Ghana.

The ministry overseeing the programme views the rising course completions as a step toward a more digitally skilled population. Officials anticipate even higher participation in the months ahead. Beyond individual skill-building, OMCP supports broader efforts to expand Ghana’s digital economy and improve workforce readiness for tech-driven jobs.

The programme’s second phase is now underway, with thousands already completing courses. By combining accessible learning formats with a focus on digital inclusion, OMCP seeks to prepare Ghanaians for emerging opportunities. Further growth in enrolment and training outcomes is expected as the initiative progresses.
