Information and communication technologies (ICTs) hold tremendous potential for rural development in Ghana in the areas of agriculture, health, education and small scale industries. However, issues such as the availability of ICTs, electricity, literacy, telecommunications and content have to be addressed before any benefits can be obtained from ICTs for rural development.

Key Words: Information and communication technology • Rural development • Ghana
