“iSPACE as an NGO is committed to ensuring that women in Ghana are consciously exposed to coding and other technological activities in this day of technological proliferation. We believe that women should be given all the assistance and this is the major reason for our well-crafted UWAT programme and I am glad at the commitment so far,” she said.

She also appealed to government to create the necessary business friendly environment for women who are using technology to grow their business.

“iSPACE is a technology hub which offers opportunity to entrepreneurs with an inclination to the use of technology for their various business to access its resources in their endeavours.
