The Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO) has welcomed Ghana as the newest Member State to join its international mission to realize digital prosperity for all.

Ghana becomes the 12th nation to ascend to the DCO, an international organization that was founded to support countries to build their digital economies as an essential driver of sustainable growth and development.

A statement from DCO said “Ghana is well–established as a leader in utilizing the power of communications and digital technologies to support economic growth,

“Ghana is also a leader in digital payments and mobile money, with the second-highest data penetration rate and fastest-growing mobile money market in sub–Saharan Africa which has greatly enhanced financial inclusion,” the statement noted.

Commenting on the announcement by the DCO, the Minister for Communication and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, stated that Ghana was ready to share its rich experience and expertise with other member states of the DCO to help achieve the organisation’s mandate.

“Ghana shares the DCO’s vision of using technology to create opportunities for economic diversity and growth as well as empower our people, especially the youth, through digital and financial inclusion.

The DCO brings together the Ministries of Communications and IT of 12 nations namely, Bahrain, Cyprus, Djibouti, Ghana, Jordan, Kuwait, Pakistan, Oman, Nigeria, Rwanda, Morocco and Saudi Arabia. The countries collectively represent nearly $2 trillion in GDP and a market of nearly 600 million people, more than 70% of whom are under the age of 35.

The DCO’s key initiatives include programmes to enhance cross-border data flows, promote market expansion for SMEs, empower digital entrepreneurs and advance digital inclusion among women and youth and other underrepresented populations.
