E-Transform Outcome Assessment
The Government of Ghana (GoG) has embarked on an ambitious effort to utilize ICT to improve the efficiency and transparency of government functions. The eTransform project is one of the vehicles being used by the Government to achieve this objective. The Project is a GoG initiative which is being funded with World Bank support. The project development objective is to improve the efficiency and coverage of government service delivery using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The project consists of four components namely:
i.Enabling environment for digital Ghana
ii.Support for digitization and connectivity
iii.Launch and scale-up of priority digital services and applications
iv.Project management.
The MoCD is the implementing agency of the project. The project has a broad scope and supports twenty (20) or more Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) with the use of ICT. Project implementation started in January 2015 and is scheduled to close on June 30, 2024.
Given the above, MoCD deemed it imperative to conduct an in-depth assessment of the interventions under the eTransform project to provide insights into the benefits accruing from the perspective of beneficiaries, document challenges and lessons learnt therefrom to guide the implementation of future programmes that will be implemented by the Ministry. It is against this backdrop that the MoCD engaged GI-KACE Consult Limited, the consulting arm of the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT to undertake an outcome assessment of the eTransform Project.
Contributions to the Project: Participated in the inception meeting, conducted the desk review and assisted in developing a methodology for the assessment. Furthermore, I helped prepared the data collection tools ie questionnaires and interviewer guides for the data collection process. As a trained enumerator, I administered the tools in tamale at the Ghana airways and weather authority and in Accra at the Ghana Meteorological Agency. Afterwards, I assisted in analysing the data and developed the draft final report. The report was then submitted to the client for feedback and comments. After incorporating the comments from the client, I together with the team proceeded to develop the final report.

Tracer Study for the eTransform project-Capacity building for School Teachers and Educational Leaders.
In 2017, the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT (GI-KACE) acting as an agency of the Ministry of Communication signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ghana Education Service to train 1400 teachers from 200 selected second cycle schools across Ghana under the eTransform capacity building of teachers and educational leaders’ project. GI-KACE successfully trained the beneficiary teachers to be able to integrate ICT as a tool for resourceful management and for effective teaching and learning in schools. A key achievement of the project was the ability to equip teachers with the relevant skills to create teaching content containing ICT simulations tools, audio-visuals, interactive tools, and games to enhance teaching and learning stem courses.
To ascertain the project’s impact after a 4-year period, the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT was engaged by the Ministry of Communication and Digitalisation/ eTransform Secretariat with support from the World Bank to conduct a Tracer Study on the Capacity Building Programme for school teachers and educational leaders under the e-Transform project. The primary goals for the tracer study are as follows:
1.document changes in the training delivery of the beneficiary teachers and educational leaders who received the ICT training.
2.Understand if and how an intervention contributed to these observed changes.
Contributions to the Project: Participated in the inception meeting, conducted the desk review and developed a methodology for the tracer study. Furthermore, I prepared the data collection tools ie questionnaires and interviewer guides for the data collection process. The tools were administered by a team of trained enumerators. Afterwards, I analysed the data and developed the draft final report. The report was then submitted to the client for feedback and comments. After incorporating the comments from the client, I proceeded to develop the final report.
