OFWA, GETA sign MoU

Open Foundation West Africa (OFWA) and the Ghana Edtech Alliance (GETA) have officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to drive impact in the education sector. The signing took place on Wednesday, August 13, 2025 at OFWA’s premises at Sal Heights, Abelemkpe.

GETA is a collection of edtech start-ups working to find innovative solutions “for us, by us” as stated by Kwame Nyatuame, President of GETA, to transform the Ghanaian education system.

Touching on OFWA’s educational programmes, OFWA’s Executive Director Jael Serwaa Boateng at the signing, highlighted the Kiwix4schools programme where educational resources are uploaded on devices for offline use to promote accessibility.

However, infrastructural challenges such as access to devices such as computers, tablets, etc. have posed significant constraints. This issue accentuates the need to collaborate with edtech organisations, such as the Ghana Edtech Alliance, to find solutions to work toward a common goal of making educational resources accessible to all; and to leverage digital technologies to positively impact education.

Kwame Nyatuame, President of GETA, also emphasised at the signing that education serves as the catalyst for national development, with technology being an essential tool to accelerate its role as a driver of nation-building.

The Memorandum of Understanding between OFWA and GETA, marks the start of a fruitful collaboration, aimed at advancing open education in Ghana and across Africa and transforming the educational landscape through the use of digital technologies and innovation.
