Young, Geeky and Black: Ghana

Like much of Africa, Ghana has a flourishing coding scene. What’s a little different is that here too there’s a big emphasis on access for women and girls. Bola meets some of the people and organisations taking the initiative, from those teaching coding to young Muslim girls in Accra’s poorest neighbourhood, to aspiring programmers looking to make apps and games for an audience thirsty for African content.

In the second episode of this series putting the spotlight on young black women coders keen to make waves in the tech industry, presenter Bola Mosuro travels to Accra.
