National Communication Awards in Ghana: All the nominees

Now in their third year, the awards are the brainchild of RAD Communications and aim to honour excellence in broadcasting in the country while championing communication, organisational and national development. This year’s awards are running under the theme, Transforming Ghana’s Economy Through Digitalisation.

The organisers say this year will see them undertake the Communication Technology for All Students Project, which is geared toward bolstering the government’s Girls in ICT programme and creating a mentorship platform for young people interested in the sector.

Public voting is ongoing here or with USSD code *920*2020#.
