More than 600 government institutions and assemblies have been onboarded onto the National Information Technology Agency’s (NITA) Smart Workplace, a development the agency says demonstrates the growing impact of shared digital platforms in improving efficiency and reducing duplication across the public sector.
Acting Director of NITA, Nana Amoah-Yeboah, disclosed this at the 2026 National ICT Week celebration, where she highlighted the agency’s ongoing efforts to strengthen Ghana’s digital public infrastructure.
According to him, NITA is playing a strategic role in the country’s digital transformation through technical direction, ICT standards, coordination, interoperability and shared digital infrastructure.
He said the onboarding of more than 600 institutions and assemblies onto the Smart Workplace demonstrates the potential of coordinated digital platforms to improve the way public institutions operate.
Nana Amoah-Yeboah said NITA was also advancing the Ghana Electronic Documents Wallet ecosystem while engaging relevant stakeholders on trusted digital documents and credentials.
The agency, she added, is working on a regulatory framework for data centre and cloud services to strengthen security, reliability and accountability within Ghana’s digital ecosystem.
He further disclosed that NITA is committed to developing Ghana.gov into a more integrated gateway for citizens to access government information and digital public services conveniently.
According to him, the agency’s digital transformation efforts are focused not only on developing individual technological solutions but also on ensuring that systems can work together effectively.
He said NITA would continue to strengthen interoperability, cybersecurity, data security and system resilience, while supporting the responsible adoption of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing and advanced data analytics.
The Acting Director said these efforts formed part of NITA’s broader mandate to create a coordinated, secure and sustainable public sector digital environment.
Nana Amoah-Yeboah stressed that Ghana’s digital transformation agenda must place people at the centre of technological development.
He said investment in infrastructure and systems must be accompanied by investment in the skills and capabilities of people who will build, manage and use those systems.
He therefore called for stronger collaboration between government, the private sector, academia, innovators, investors and development partners.
He said the collective responsibility was to move ideas from innovation to implementation and ultimately to scale.
The Acting Director made the remarks under the theme “Innovation at Scale, Creating Opportunities Across Ghana’s Digital Ecosystem”.
He said the theme was important because Ghana had demonstrated its ability to innovate but needed to focus increasingly on solutions that could be adopted, integrated and sustained at scale.
Nana Amoah-Yeboah reaffirmed NITA’s commitment to providing the technical and institutional foundations necessary to support Ghana’s digital transformation and urged participants to make the National ICT Week a platform for learning, collaboration, innovation and action.
