Exploring the factors behind digitalization convergence and revealing Africa’s digital transformation journeys
Global economies are transitioning from traditional agrarian models to technology-driven ones, focusing on sustainable growth. Historically, Africa has been slow to adopt digital technologies, lagging behind other regions. However, since the late 1990s, the continent has experienced significant growth in its telecommunications sector, driven by investments, market liberalization, and regulatory reforms.

The findings reveal that both telecommunications development ind…
Asymmetric nexus between telecommunications infrastructure, institutions and poverty in Afghanistan
How are telecommunications infrastructure, institutions and poverty related in a war-torn economy such as Afghanistan? Afghanistan has been plagued by poor governance, low usage of telecommunications, and extreme poverty levels which can be termed triple-challenges. High levels of political instability affected telecommunications investment and adversely affected the adoption and diffusion of modern technology. This study examines the asymmetric …

Information and communication technology development and health gap nexus in Africa
Introduction: Development of information and communication technology has been identified as a tool for fast and effective information gathering and dissemination, and as a means through which almost every social and economic sector (including the health sector) could achieve economic, operational, and service delivery efficiencies that can enable the realization of targeted outcomes. ICT can serve as a tool for achieving international agreements…

Information and communication technology penetration level as an impetus for economic growth and development in Africa
Africa is an emerging, frontier economy that is gradually becoming a gold miner of the fourth industrial revolution (industry 4.0) to achieve speedy economic growth and development. Through the transmission channel of technological drive that relies on the penetration of modern communication means (information and communication technology [I.C.T.]). It is on this basis that this study examines the performance of I.C.T., economic growth and develo…
