The Zonal hackathons were a precursor to Phase One (1) of the Ghana Hubs Network- GiZ Make IT Digitization and Capacity Strengthening Program.

 

The program seeks to develop a database management and analysis system for the Ghanaian entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem to serve as a catalyst for effective decision-making, policy formulation and advocacy, development of relevant and sustainable ecosystem programs and to accurately report on the capacity and potential within the ecosystem. This data will be the basis for forming synergies and partnerships amongst hubs, entrepreneurs, and innovators.

​

The program design sought 20 developers across the 16 regions to be assembled to contribute to the development of the proposed system. The zonal hackathons were designed to ensure equal and inclusive selection of these developers.
