Research ICT Africa is a network of researchers and institutions across Africa dedicated to studying information and communication technologies (ICT) policy, access, and use. The organization conducts empirical research on digital inclusion, broadband access, mobile technology adoption, and ICT policy in African countries.
The network brings together academic institutions, policy researchers, and practitioners to generate evidence-based insights on how ICT can support development across the continent. Research ICT Africa has produced influential studies on mobile phone penetration, internet access disparities, and digital policy frameworks in sub-Saharan Africa.
The organization serves as a bridge between African researchers and the global ICT policy community, contributing African perspectives to international debates on digital development and technology governance.
