| dc.description.abstract | Information Communication Technology (ICT) is a promising emerging sector in transforming the global economy. Digital technologies are opening new possibilities for developing countries to grow and transform to digital economies. Further, the expansion of internet is a fundamental pillar and catalyst for enhanced global connectivity and economic transformation. ICT transformation in Sub-Saharan Africa is significantly boosting entrepreneurship and creating jobs for the youth. It has also increased annual per capita GDP growth by about 1.5 percentage points and lowered poverty head count by 0.7 percentage points per year. | en |
