Accra, May 18, GNA - Microsoft has held a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) Connection Day in Accra.

The event organised on the theme, 'Technology for Social Good' was to help NGOs harness the power technology in the delivery of their social services.

It also served as a platform to encourage NGOs to be strategic in choosing their social media.

The event brought together about 110 participants from NGOs such as K-iNET, PLAN Ghana, Christian Relief Services, DFID and TECH AIDE.

Speaking on the topic: 'How Microsoft support NGOs', Mr Ngo Nwosu, a Representative from Microsoft, explained the various ways Microsoft gives aids to non-profits groups through providing support, advice and capacity building.
