Editor's Notes
- Delivering this keynote speech at Kofi Annan Center of Excellence in ICT of great significance to me and sends me back to memory lane because I discovered a Data Problem and later on built a solution for it almost two decades ago when I was an intern at the center. As an intern here, I was part of a group researching on the penetration of ICT in Ghana and had to collect data on businesses that solve devices or provided services in Accra. The data existed at Ghana Post and Ghana Telecom at that time but was not easily available for our research, we will roam round streets in Accra and rely on our networks to show us businesses they know who offered these services.
