Digital skills adoption rate in Africa 2019-2030, by country
The lack of digital skills concerns a large share of the African population. In 2019, the adoption rate of digital skills stood at only 10 percent in Mozambique and 23 percent in Côte d’Ivoire, meaning that most of the people were not able to use digital devices and applications, nor access the internet. However, the levels of digital literacy in the continent are forecast to increase. For instance, they would reach 55 percent of the population in Kenya by 2030, up from 30 percent in 2019.
