In a drive towards the attainment of a paperless mode of managing projects and its delivery, the Government of Ghana in the last few years, has embarked on several policy initiatives to achieve this objective in public organizations. The challenges associated with the paperless drive do not lie solely with the deployment of software and hardware. The degree of success also depends primarily on the capabilities of personnel operating the software programs and hardware tools available within the specific Local Government Organization. Regardless of the appropriateness of software programs for project management and project delivery, studies indicate that project managers must have some basic requisite knowledge and competencies in ICTs to compliment the deployment of technology to make their organizational performance and effectiveness useful. With the introduction of policies such as the Information Communication Technology for Accelerated Development (ICT 4AD), there comes the need to review the literacy level of personnel who will be utilizing these programs to ensure success of project deliverables. This paper assesses the capabilities of project management personnel at the local government level using quantitative method hinged on a goodness of fit test. This study also reviews the Information and Communications Technology literacy and competency levels of personnel in charge of projects management administration at the Local Government level. The conclusions indicate that personnel at this level are not be adequately prepared to operationalize the ICT enabled paperless system. The recommendations for successful implementation of paperless management of projects and programmes at the local government level requires an overhaul of the capacities of all project management personnel and local government staff as a whole through training and education.

The need for Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries to diversify their economies is more urgent than ever. However, despite its established economic benefits, several challenges have precluded diversification in SSA. Against this backdrop, interesting initiatives to further adopt digital technologies, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, suggest that digitalization is a promising avenue to overcome barriers to diversification. Fast-paced advances in the diffusion of digital technologies and knowledge have the potential to transform SSA economies through several channels. By connecting people and facilitating the rapid diffusion of information, digitalization also promises to reshape the industrial structure of activities in new and unprecedented ways. Therefore, digitalization has the potential to promote diversification and growth in SSA by acting both as an enabler and driver of economic activities, helping support resilience. Yet, while the empirical literature on SSA suggests that digitalization can provide new opportunities for growth, employment, productivity, and inclusion, the impact on diversification has not been studied. This paper aims to fill this important gap in the literature. It also aims to strengthen IMF engagement with SSA policy makers by providing a conceptual policy framework, encompassing both horizontal and sectoral policies, on how to leverage digitalization to support diversification and boost resilience in a post-COVID world.
