Africa is going through a massive economic and social revolution thanks to mobile / smartphones.
Sub-Saharan Africa’s opportunities are vast, home to the world’s largest free trade area, and a 1.2 billion-person market.
Due the nature of the region there is still a lot of work migration, so having ID's and certifications that can be easily sent to people via app, plus the easy of updates and verification, makes these digital tools essential to the new modes of working in the region.
The World Bank is stepping up support for digital transformation in Africa in collaboration with the AUC, AFDB, UNECA, China, the French Development Agency (AFD), the UK Department for International Development (DFID), Japan International Coordination Agency (JICA), EU, European Investment Bank (EIB), Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the International Telecommunications Union, and Smart Africa.
