In the last two decades, the continent has witnessed a rash of investments, policies and regulations targeting to improve the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure environment. The results have been a mix of blessings and disappointments. But Africa marches on.
There is a conscious drive-in government to lay the foundations for a vibrant digital economy driven by millions of the continent’s young innovative youths.
According to research, Africa’s digital economy will hover over $300 billion by 2025. The increasing digitalization of the economy is creating expansive opportunities across sectors with greater potential for more inclusive growth development.
