Connecting 1 billion Africans to the internet by 2030

We believe in the transformative power of reliable internet access. The Partnership for Digital Access in Africa (PDAA) convenes public, private and non-profit institutions in Africa, the U.S., and around the world to achieve this goal.

RELIABLE INTERNET

changes everything

Africa is home to a young and dynamic population with immense potential. But today, hundreds of millions still lack access to basic economic opportunities and essential services. Africa’s limited access to the internet is one major reason why.

2.) Improving device affordability

3.) Enhancing digital skills
