The Head of the African Institute for Media and Business Excellence (HAIMBE) has called for a significant expansion of digital access throughout Africa. Speaking on the importance of connectivity, HAIMBE highlighted that increasing digital access is crucial for economic growth, education, and social inclusion across the continent.

While specific strategies were not detailed, the call underscores the persistent digital divide affecting many African nations, where limited infrastructure and affordability continue to restrict internet access for large segments of the population.

Expanding digital access is seen as a key step toward enabling more Africans to participate in the digital economy, access vital information, and benefit from technological advancements.

Efforts to improve connectivity will likely involve collaboration between governments, private sector stakeholders, and international partners to invest in infrastructure and create enabling policies.
