This event promises to be more than just a competition; it's a quest for ultimate glory and the golden opportunity to claim unmatched bragging rights.
The primary objective of this hackathon is to shed light on the power of GSS StatsBank and foster the utilization of census data for policy-relevant research. It's a platform for young minds to harness their data wizardry and make a tangible impact on the future of Ghana.
