INTRODUCTION

Africa is a continent with immense potential for growth and development, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays a pivotal role in driving progress across various sectors. However, the persistent digital divide presents a substantial challenge that hinders the continent's advancement. The lack of access to technology limits information dissemination, educational opportunities, and economic growth, creating inequalities and impeding sustainable development efforts.
