Activities under this collaboration will include joint proposal development, guest lecturing, content creation, training, and program implementation.
The partnership between RAIL KNUST and Panoply Digital represents a significant step towards a data-driven future where individuals are empowered with the skills and knowledge to harness the power of data for positive social impact.
