“About 87% of African business leaders identify digital skills development as a priority area in need of further investment. In 2022, African countries scored between 1.8 and 5 on the Digital Skills Gap Index, which is below the global average of 6. Of the world’s 20 countries with the weakest digital skills, 12 are in Africa, and only 11% of Africa’s tertiary education graduates have formal digital training,”
