Today we celebrate the World Telecommunications and Information Society Day. Never this celebration was as important as this year.
Since the eruption of COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, most governments, organizations, businesses and individuals have been mainly operating and interacting online. Digitalization has moved from a value addition to a survival game changer. The pandemic crisis has made it clear to everyone that digitalization is the infrastructure of the 21st century. Moreover, this crisis has become the single biggest catalyst for a digital transformation in Africa.
