Vodafone Ghana Foundation has partnered Human Network International (HNI) and Catholic Relief Services (CRS) to equip Ghanaians with free and accurate information on the electoral process and voter education ahead of Ghana’s general elections in December. The service is being delivered through the Vodafone 3-2-1 platform – the first free on-demand information service in Ghana. The latest addition to the 3-2-1 service menu, which is under the ‘elections’ tab, contains detailed information on voter registration, exhibition, campaigning, Election Day as well as electoral malpractices.
The free on demand service, is programmed in various languages including English, Ewe, Ga, Hausa, Dagbani and Twi, and customers can access these by simply dialling 3-2-1 on their mobile phones. Additionally, customers can also dial the short code - *321# - to assess the written content. The election content was developed in partnership with YES Ghana and was reviewed by the Electoral Commission of Ghana.
The 3-2-1 service also provides news, weather forecasts, maternal and sexual reproductive health, family planning, water and sanitation for subscribers. The technology behind the 3-2-1 Service is developed by VOTO Mobile, a Ghana-based tech start-up and beneficiary of Vodafone Ghana Foundation’s Mobile for Good Initiative.
