We bring together the public and private sectors in Africa and the U.S. with a shared mission: connecting 1 billion people in Africa to the internet by 2030. Through careful coordination between partners, we are able to accelerate African-led initiatives to boost connectivity, expand economic opportunities, empower communities and achieve humanitarian improvements across the continent.

Leadership Team

Our leadership team is composed of current and former government officials, international business leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs. Their deep expertise and passion drive PDAA forward, bringing new resources, efforts, and ideas to the table.

Our partners are industry leaders with a profound understanding of Africa’s geographic, technical, and political landscape. They address different parts of the solution, converging through PDAA to achieve our ambitious goal.

By convening public and private sectors, PDAA and its partners maintain robust relationships with the U.S. government and many African governments, streamlining work, cutting through red tape, and fostering essential policy dialogue.

our vision

We are building a future where the transformative power of internet access enables people across Africa to become entrepreneurs, access vital health services, pursue education, secure digital employment, and develop new skills; a future where these possibilities are within reach for all – from rural to urban communities, across gender barriers, nations and regions in Africa.
