About Smart Africa

Smart Africa is a bold and innovative commitment from African Heads of State and Government to accelerate sustainable socio-economic development on the continent, ushering Africa into a knowledge economy through affordable access to Broadband and usage of Information and Communications Technologies.

The Transform Africa Summit held in Kigali, Rwanda on 28th-31st October 2013 culminated in the adoption of the Smart Africa Manifesto document by seven (7) African Heads of States (Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, Mali, Gabon, Burkina Faso) in which they committed to providing leadership in accelerating socio-economic development through ICT’s.

On 30th-31st January 2014, The Smart Africa Manifesto was endorsed by all Heads of State and Government of the African Union at the 22nd Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union in Addis Ababa. This development places the Manifesto at the heart of the ICT agenda in Africa beyond just the 7 original signatories at the Summit to all the 54 African countries.

The Smart Africa Alliance has since grown to include 30 African countries that represent 750+ million people. The Smart Africa Manifesto aims to put ICT at the Center of the National Socio-economic development agenda of member countries; improve access to ICT especially Broadband; to improve accountability, efficiency, and openness through ICT promoting the introduction of advanced technologies in telecommunication; to put the Private Sector first, and to leverage ICT to promote sustainable development.

Background of the One Africa Network

Since the adoption of the Smart Africa Manifesto by seven African Heads of State in 2013, a growing number of countries have expressed an interest in the vision of accelerating socio-economic development through technology, growing the membership to 30 member states with about 750 million population.

The “One Africa Network (OAN) initiative” was created in line with the vision to facilitate and increase exchanges of voice traffic and value-added services between participating African countries. This initiative is expected to boost economic growth, as it will make it easier to exchange services across borders within the Smart Africa space.

The objectives of the initiative are as follows:

To make international voice and data communications affordable between the countries of the Smart Africa Alliance.
To maintain African voice and data flows on the African continent by establishing intra-African cross-border links/connections.

About Cybersecurity and Data Privacy

Africa comprises 54 countries with 1.3 billion people, generating over $4 trillion annually in combined consumer and business spending and the world’s youngest population.

Digitalization offers new opportunities to increase intra-African trade and boost the economy (through e-commerce), reduction of red tape and trade costs (through e-government and the digitalization of public services), and enabling Africa to leapfrog and participate in the 4th industrial revolution.

The growth potential has been well documented and can add between 2% and 4% to the GDP of countries that embrace digital trade.Digital information flows—which were practically non-existent just 15 years ago—now exert a larger impact on GDP growth than the centuries-old trade in physical goods, according to a McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) report, Digital globalization: The new era of global flows.

Despite these opportunities, there are several limitations that African countries continue to face, some of which relate to the lack of cybersecurity infrastructure, lack of data protection legislation and regulation, and low levels of cross border data flow.

Following the formation of SMART Africa and the roadmap articulated in the ‘Smart Africa Manifesto’, recognizing information and communication technology (ICT) as a crucial enabler of growth across all economic sectors, significant achievements have been made over the past six years in enabling ICT, in particular addressing mobile infrastructure and access to the internet.

Internet widespread adoption and integration into our lives over the last 20 years and our increased use of mobile devices in the previous ten years has led to personal data being created and captured than ever before, globally, and across Africa. Higher instances of and transactions with Personal Data have also meant higher risk levels to individuals and their privacy.

However, there remains a need for policies harmonization across the continent to take advantage of the rapid changes in technology that are becoming increasingly affordable for all Africans. Cybersecurity, Personal Data Protection, and Privacy laws, when harmonized, will enhance trust and security in cyberspace and will enable safer intra- and cross border information and data flows, commerce, thereby integrating Africa and moving towards the Single Digital Market.

About the Smart Africa Digital Academy

Over the past decade, Africa has made great strides in enrolling children in school, with some countries providing free primary education for the first nine years. Despite this achievement, the average Human Capital Index (HCI) falls below the average, with one of the highest being 52 on a scale of 100, education being a major determinant factor.

With a population estimated to approximately 1.3bn people who are majorly youthful, ensuring quality jobs to leverage on the continent’s demographic opportunity is set to be one of Africa’s game-changer. An estimated 15 to 20 million increasingly well-educated young people will join the African workforce every year for the next three decades.

The Smart Africa Digital Academy (SADA) is the delivery vehicle of the Smart Africa capacity building and skills development activities across the various digital skills spectrum. It is a pan-African dynamic learning ecosystem in which African citizens of all ages and social classes can gain or improve their digital skills, gain qualifications, meet the emerging talent needs of employers, industry or be self-reliant.
