The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the latest organization to commend Dr. Bawumia for leading Ghana’s digital transformation under the Akufo-Addo administration.
Following a productive discussion with Dr. Bawumia on the importance of digitization in attaining the SDGs, the UNDP tweeted on its official account to congratulate the Vice President, characterizing him as a “Champion of Digitization.”
The UNDP said, “The Vice President of Ghana is a champion of digitalization with equity to promote inclusive and sustainable development.”
“Great discussion between our Resident Representative Dr. Angela Lusigi and H.E. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on our work to harness digitization as a catalyst for SDGs for people, prosperity, peace & the planet.”
Dr. Bawumia was recently recognized by the Initiators of Change Foundation as Africa’s Digital Revolutionary Leader of the Decade for his leadership role in Ghana’s digitalization push.
Dr. Bawumia was named the keynote speaker at the University of Nottingham’s Africa Policy Dialogues on Monday, with the subject “Digital Transformation in the Public Sector: Lessons and Opportunities from Ghana.”
President Akufo-Addo’s administration recognized digitalization of the Ghanaian economy as a catalyst for turning the economy around and driving inclusive growth.
The government’s digitization success, led by Dr. Bawumia and other government players, was based on the release of biometric national identity cards, a digital addressing system, the digitalization of government offices and services, and mobile money interoperability.
