Unity, technology drive Africa forward

Nana Aba Appiah Amfo joined a swathe of women at the top of their fields when she became the University of Ghana’s first female Vice-Chancellor in late 2021. Amfo says her strategy now is to incorporate technology and innovation into every aspect of university life, to produce graduates who are both critical thinkers and technologically adept as the world continues on its digital revolution. 

 A powerhouse in the world of linguistics, Amfo tells Africa Science Focus that dreams can come true when women – and men – support each other. And, she tells us why context is everything when it comes to communication.
