Harris Unveils Major Initiative to Expand Internet Access in Africa by 2030

The plan aims to increase internet connectivity from 40% to 80%, with significant investments in digital infrastructure and gender equality.

Vice President Kamala Harris announced a partnership to boost internet access in Africa to 80% by 2030.
The initiative follows Harris' previous commitments to digital innovation during her visit to Africa.
Key components include the Partnership for Digital Access in Africa and the Mobilizing Access to the Digital Economy Alliance (MADE).
MADE will initially focus on providing digital access to 3 million farmers in Kenya, Tanzania, and Nigeria.
The Women in the Digital Economy efforts have generated over $1 billion in commitments to address the gender divide in tech access.
