What is the “re/START” Initiative?

re/Start is an AWS digital skills programme collaborated between Smart Africa Digital Academy (SADA) and the Ministry of Communications and Digitalisation. With the support of the World Bank, the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT (GI-KACE) is hosting some of the training in Accra, Sunyani, Kumasi and Bolga.
