  This study is to examine the role of ICT in the survival of selected SMEs in
Koforidua, Ghana The study employed descriptive technique to conduct the
survey. Using a sample of 100 SMEs, an accidental sampling of a non-probability
technique was used to gathered data and information. The study argues out that
majority of the SMEs operators do use at least one ICT tool in supporting their
operations within the New Juaben Municipality. The study revealed that ICT is
good and helps business survival in difficult times and become competitive in
support of literature r ;eviewed. The study suggested that periodic training in
the form of workshops and sensitization programs on the benefits and the use
ICT resources in business growth strategies should be organized by National
Board for Small-Scale Industries (NBSSI). SME operators, can also outsource
their ICT delivery systems by engaging ICT consultants in order to avoid the
problem of funding relating to the setting up of their own ICT system which
usually requires huge initial capital outlay. The primary policy recommendation
arising out of this is that applications for SMEs need to be developed using
mobile phones.
