Samuel Nartey George brought in Nana Akyaa Amoah-Amissah as the new acting deputy administrator for GIFEC after Abdul-Aziz Mohammed got reassigned. The Communications Minister told her to team up with acting administrator Sofo Tanko Rashid-Computer to push the fund's goals around rural internet access and digital inclusion.
Amoah-Amissah spent over 20 years working in tech and finance, most recently running business equity partnerships globally at Meta. Before that, she led African government and education partnerships at Google and became the first Black female director at WhatsApp in 2020. She grabbed a top women's leader recognition in San Francisco last year.
She told staff she thinks leaders need to make ethical choices around technology and promised to work closely with the team to keep GIFEC moving forward.
