Manufacturing plays a crucial role in Africa's economy. Establishing these facilities is expected to further diversify the industrial base, foster resilience against economic fluctuations, and enhance self-sufficiency.
Uganda has launched a state-of-the-art Local Electronics Manufacturing Facility and the Deep Technology Centre of Excellence under the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation. The initiative, unveiled on February 20, aligns with the government's commitment to Uganda’s National Development Plan III and strengthens the country’s position in high-tech manufacturing.
“This milestone is not only a leap forward in our Nation’s journey toward technological advancement and the qualitative leap but also a tangible demonstration of the Government’s commitment to operationalizing Uganda National Development Plan III, ” Minister of Energy and Mineral Development, Ruth Nankabirwa, stated in a LinkedIn post.
The Deep Technology Centre of Excellence is a modern facility dedicated to advancing innovation in emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, the Internet of Things, Robotics, Biotechnology, Advanced Materials, Cloud and Edge Computing, and Quantum Computing.
The launch highlights the power of public-private collaboration, with government ministries, private sector players, academia, and local communities encouraged to seize this opportunity for innovation and growth. The Energy sector is expected to benefit significantly from the local production of power meters at the center. This will enhance the national grid while enabling businesses and households to monitor and optimize energy consumption.
Beyond energy, the new facilities are set to create jobs, develop skills, and drive innovation, reducing Uganda’s reliance on imports and enhancing its global competitiveness. Officials emphasized that investing in local manufacturing will build a resilient economy and position Uganda as a leader in technology and industrialization.
Uganda's reliance on imported electrical and electronic equipment has been substantial, with imports projected to reach $429 million by 2028, up from an estimated $406 million in 2023. By investing in local manufacturing capabilities, the country can decrease this dependency, retaining capital within the economy and improving the trade balance.

It's clear that Tunisia, like the rest of Africa, is moving irreversibly towards a digital economy. The rising popularity of electronic payments is creating a more inclusive, secure, and globally integrated financial landscape.
In 2024, electronic transactions in Tunisia totaled 27.891 billion dinars (approximately $8.8 billion), marking a 10.6% increase compared to the 25.230 billion dinars recorded the previous year. These figures were revealed by the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT) in its 2024 Payments Bulletin, published on Monday, February 26. The growth reflects the increasing adoption of digital payment solutions, including mobile payments, online transactions, and the wider use of bank cards.
The sector's expansion is also evident in the significant rise in the number of transactions, which grew from 149 million to 163 million, a 9.4% increase in just one year. This momentum is driven by improved digital infrastructure, the rise of fintech companies, and government efforts to promote cashless payments as a means to boost financial inclusion and combat the informal economy.
Mobile Payments: A Key Driver of Digital Transformation
Mobile payments have become a key force behind Tunisia’s digital payment revolution. In 2024, 5.1 million transactions were conducted through electronic wallets, totaling 1.394 billion dinars—an increase of 21.4% compared to the previous year.
Most mobile transactions are concentrated in merchant payments (49.4%), peer-to-peer money transfers (36.6%), and cash deposit and withdrawal operations via e-wallets. This trend highlights the growing adoption of digital payment solutions, fueled by the expansion of active e-wallet accounts, which now number 368,595, managed by 15 payment service providers (PSPs).
Ongoing Modernization of the Payment System
To support this digital shift, the Central Bank of Tunisia is implementing several initiatives aimed at modernizing the payment ecosystem and enhancing transaction security. One key project is the TuniChèque platform, designed to digitize checks—still widely used in Tunisia. By gradually replacing paper checks with more secure electronic versions, this initiative seeks to reduce fraud risks and speed up payment processing.
Additionally, Tunisia is adopting the SWIFT ISO 20022 standard, which harmonizes financial messaging on a global scale. This transition is expected to facilitate the country’s integration into international monetary flows, improve transaction transparency, and enhance communication between banks and businesses.
Another major step is Tunisia’s membership in PAPSS (Pan-African Payment and Settlement System), a continental payment and settlement network. Developed under the auspices of the African Union and the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), PAPSS enables intra-African transactions without relying on foreign currencies such as the dollar or euro. For Tunisia, this means lower costs for cross-border transfers and stronger integration into the African market.
Lastly, the Central Bank plans to extend the Elyssa-RTGS system to cover foreign currency transactions. This project aims to accelerate and secure cross-border payments by enabling real-time settlements, a significant advantage for Tunisian businesses operating internationally.
A Surge in Digital Transactions Across Africa
Tunisia’s digital transformation aligns with a broader trend across Africa, where electronic transactions are experiencing exponential growth. According to the "State of Instant Payments in Africa" report by AfricaNenda, instant payments across the continent reached approximately $1.036 trillion in 2023, with continued growth expected.
This shift is particularly evident in East and West Africa, where mobile payments dominate. Countries like Kenya (with M-Pesa), Ghana, and Nigeria have developed strong digital infrastructures that facilitate seamless transactions. North Africa is now following suit, with fintech innovations and mobile payment solutions on the rise.
The expansion of electronic payments in Africa could have profound economic implications. Greater financial inclusion will enable more citizens to access banking services and participate in the formal economy. Additionally, the digitization of payments enhances fiscal transparency and combats corruption by reducing reliance on cash, which is harder to trace.
However, one of the biggest challenges remains interoperability between different payment systems. Many services currently operate in silos, limiting the fluidity of cross-border transactions. Initiatives like PAPSS and the adoption of international standards are expected to gradually address these barriers, fostering a more interconnected African financial ecosystem.

Across Africa, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a major driver of digital innovation, reshaping industries and addressing critical issues. In Madagascar, AI is steadily improving social inclusion, opening up new possibilities for underserved populations.
Andréa Valéria Andriantefiarinesy (photo) is the co-founder BrA.I, the startup behind a device that instantly translates text into Braille using artificial intelligence, aiming to improve access to information for visually impaired individuals. From a graphic design background, she shifted her career path after joining the Advanced Design program at the Orange Digital Center (ODC). There, she met other young innovators and together they formed BrA.I, which won first place at the Orange Summer Challenge 2023 (OSC 2023).
"The idea came from a simple yet striking observation: access to information remains a major challenge for visually impaired people. While assistive technologies exist in developed countries, their high cost makes them inaccessible to most, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds," Andriantefiarinesy said. "Our goal is to make these technologies affordable and widely available, enabling more visually impaired individuals to access information and gain independence."
Winning first place at OSC 2023 marked the beginning of an intense yet rewarding entrepreneurial journey. "It was a turning point: we had to decide the future of the project. Seeing the potential of BrA.I and the public’s enthusiasm for its deployment, we decided to pursue the venture and turn this idea into reality," she recalls.
The path was not without challenges. Some team members left the project for personal or professional reasons, requiring Andriantefiarinesy to assume strategic and operational leadership roles. "I had to learn how to manage a team, structure our work, and make tough decisions," she said. Thanks to incubation support and guidance from mentors like Rudy DEAL, IT & Digital Services Director at VIVETIC Group, she successfully navigated these challenges.
In 2024, BrA.I won second place and the Women’s Prize at the Orange Social Venture Prize for Africa and the Middle East. "This confirmed that our project meets a real need and that it was time to structure BrA.I into a full-fledged startup," she said.
Andriantefiarinesy envisions BrA.I becoming an essential tool for visually impaired individuals within five years, with at least one device in every institution. "Ultimately, we want BrA.I to become a personal device, used on demand just like a mobile phone," she said. "We’re aiming for large-scale adoption, with our device present in every household, providing a practical and accessible solution for daily life—both nationally and internationally."
In Africa, ghost employees are still exploiting outdated management systems to fraudulently collect salaries. To address this, many countries are implementing biometric technology, which provides a robust solution for securing workforce management and improving administrative transparency.
The Cameroonian government will introduce a biometric system to track the physical presence of public sector employees at their workplaces, Minister of Public Service and Administrative Reform Joseph LE announced Tuesday.Speaking at a press briefing aired on national public television on February 25, LE said the initiative aims to reduce absenteeism and eliminate ghost employees from the state payroll.
"By enabling a unique and tamper-proof identification of each employee, this system will ensure stricter workforce management. It will also enhance transparency within the administration and contribute to a vigorous fight against absenteeism, which has been strongly criticized in recent months by the highest authorities of our country," LE said.
The move is part of Cameroon’s broader digital transformation efforts, aligning with the country’s National Development Strategy 2030 (SND-30). It is also a key component of the “Aigle” program, launched in January, which seeks to modernize public administration through new technologies. The goal is to optimize public service management and improve government policy efficiency.
The biometric system will utilize technologies such as fingerprint scanners and facial recognition devices to verify employees' physical presence. Upon arrival, employees will authenticate themselves in real time, ensuring a secure and accurate attendance record. This tamper-proof identification method will guarantee employee authenticity and strengthen workforce monitoring.
While an exact implementation date was not provided, LE said the project will begin with a pilot phase in three key administrations: the Ministry of Public Service, the Ministry of Finance, and the Supreme State Audit Office. The pilot will be followed by a gradual rollout, accompanied by targeted training for managers to facilitate adoption and maximize the system’s effectiveness.
The introduction of biometrics in the public sector is expected to reduce administrative fraud, eliminate ghost employees, and optimize state resources. However, the system's implementation will face technical and ethical challenges, particularly concerning data protection and social acceptability. The ultimate goal is to clean up the public administration and eradicate ghost employees, who cost African governments tens of billions of CFA francs annually.

Regulating digital platforms is essential for Africa’s long-term digital sovereignty and inclusive growth. By ensuring fair revenue distribution, promoting local journalism, and preventing algorithmic bias, Africa can build a more sustainable and competitive digital ecosystem.
Google may have to pay up to R500 million ($27.29 million) annually to South African media outlets. This comes after the South African Competition Commission found it guilty of anti-competitive practices. The commission revealed this in its Media and Digital Platforms Market Inquiry (MDPMI) provisional report announced on February 24. Meta and X also face potential fines.
The Commission’s provisional report states that Google's algorithm favors global news over local South African media, weakening the country’s media industry for 14 years. To address this, it recommends Google compensate local publishers R300–R500 million annually for three to five years while adjusting its search algorithm to boost local referral traffic.
The Commission also urged Meta’s Facebook and X to stop deprioritizing South African news and restore referral traffic. It called on Meta and YouTube to increase revenue sharing for publishers.
If these companies fail to comply within six months of the final report, a 5–10% digital advertising levy may be imposed. The final report is expected later this year, with an April 7 deadline for evidence submissions.
The Journalism and Media Lab (Jamlab), a project of the Wits Centre for Journalism dedicated to fostering innovation in African journalism and media, highlighted in its Digital News Report 2023 that 57% of South Africans share news via social media.
The findings reinforce the South African Competition Commission’s concerns about Google, Meta, and X’s algorithmic bias against local media. With 57% of respondents sharing news via social media, global platforms wield significant influence over public discourse. If these platforms prioritize foreign media, local journalism loses visibility, revenue, and audience engagement, threatening its sustainability.
The Competition Commission's proposed remedies, including compensation for local outlets and fairer algorithmic representation, could help level the playing field, ensuring African stories reach both domestic and global audiences.

Streamlining case reporting and evidence submission reduces delays in investigation and prosecution, ensuring swifter justice for survivors. Leveraging AI and digital tools can help break barriers to justice, empowering survivors, and holding perpetrators accountable. These innovations are essential in reducing domestic violence and ensuring a safer society for all.
The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) announced yesterday February 24 the introduction of two digital initiatives to enhance support for domestic violence survivors: an AI chatbot, Ask INU, and a self-reporting evidence portal. These initiatives aim to strengthen evidence collection, enhance access to services, and reduce domestic violence cases in Lagos State.
DSVA Executive Secretary Vivour-Adeniyi emphasized that these initiatives reaffirm Lagos State’s commitment to breaking the culture of silence, supporting survivors, and ensuring perpetrator accountability.
Ask INU (I Need You) is a WhatsApp-based chatbot that provides immediate information and referrals to survivors. Users can access support by sending a message to 0812 893 7058 on WhatsApp.
The Domestic and Sexual Violence Case Management System (DSVCMS) now includes a Self-Reporting Tool, allowing survivors and mandated reporters to securely submit case details and upload evidence via lagosdsvcms.org. The platform helps preserve crucial materials such as pictures, audio recordings, and medical reports—key for ensuring swift justice.
According to UN Women, approximately 1 in 3 women aged 15-49 in Nigeria have experienced physical or sexual violence. The introduction of digital support tools like Ask INU and the Self-Reporting Evidence Portal directly addresses a critical need for accessible, confidential, and efficient support services.
By providing immediate assistance via WhatsApp and secure evidence storage, DSVA is reducing barriers to reporting and ensuring survivors have a pathway to justice and support, ultimately strengthening efforts to combat domestic and sexual violence in Lagos State.

To simplify the lives of its citizens, the Nigerien government is implementing innovative solutions. These initiatives prioritize the modernization of public services and the promotion of digital technology access, ultimately supporting the country's economic and social progress.
Niger's autonomous pension fund, CARENI, inaugurated its new digital platform, "CARENI COLLECTE," on Monday, February 24, in Niamey, aiming to streamline pension registration and simplify access to benefits for over 35,000 Nigerien retirees. The retirees collectively receive over 3 billion CFA francs (approximately $5 million) per month.
“The CARENI COLLECTE application we are launching today is more than just digitalization—it represents a profound transformation in our management system,” said Ali Ousseini Hadiza (photo, center), Director General of CARENI. She emphasized that the platform is built around five key pillars, including a biometric card featuring a fingerprint and essential personal information, replacing the traditional booklet.
The biometric card will identify civil servants and facilitate access to medical coverage services, reducing the need for retirees to visit CARENI offices. This innovation is expected to eliminate long queues and repeated visits.
This project is part of a broader digital transformation initiative in Niger, as public institutions accelerate their shift toward e-governance. Like many countries, Niger aspires to enhance its global standing in digital administration. According to the latest United Nations e-Government Development Index, Niger ranks 187th out of 193 countries, with a score of 0.21157 out of 1. These figures highlight the urgent need for modernization in public administration.
The implementation of CARENI COLLECTE is expected to greatly improve pension access and healthcare services, ultimately enhancing retirees' quality of life. However, challenges remain, particularly in raising awareness and training users to navigate digital tools, as well as addressing connectivity issues in rural areas. Continuous support for retirees and ongoing improvements to the platform will be crucial to ensuring the initiative’s full success.

Through Used.ma, Anainiaa Reda is working to advance sustainable fashion in Morocco and Africa. The platform seeks to combine innovation, social impact, and environmental considerations within the second-hand market.
Anainiaa Reda (photo) is a graduate in organizational and strategic management from Ibn Tofail University. In 2022, he launched Used.ma an e-commerce platform specializing in the buying and selling of second-hand clothing, promoting circular fashion in Morocco and across Africa.
Through Used.ma, he merges his business acumen with his passion for the fashion industry, and his decision is already proving successful, with the platform winning third place in the Poesam (Orange Prize for Social Entrepreneurship in Africa and the Middle East) and second place in the Prix Maroc Jeunesse in the "Entrepreneurship" category in 2024. Used.ma is, in fact, the culmination of a long journey that began when Reda was in high school. He started reselling second-hand clothes for fun. This later turned into an avenue to sharpen his negotiation skills, get a glimpse into customer expectations, and gain expertise in supply chain management.Later, he founded a delivery startup, which provided deeper insights into logistics and optimizing customer experience. These ventures shaped his vision and prepared him to launch Used.ma.
Adapting to the Market
The idea for Used.ma emerged from a simple yet powerful observation: despite the global boom in second-hand fashion, Morocco's market remained largely unstructured. Reda identified three major challenges to tackle: lack of consumer trust, the complexity of buying and selling second-hand items, and the textile industry's environmental impact.
Used.ma offers an innovative solution that secures transactions, simplifies exchanges, and encourages more responsible consumption. Inspired by successful international models like Vinted and Depop, Reda tailors these platforms to local realities, considering the preferences of Moroccan and African consumers. His ability to innovate while drawing from proven strategies has been a key factor in his success.
Yet, he faced consumer reluctance to embrace online second-hand shopping and the challenge of building an attractive offering while managing his startup's growth. To overcome this, he adopted a gradual, user-focused approach centered on improving customer experience, listening to feedback, and raising awareness about the benefits of second-hand fashion.
Morocco and Beyond
Looking ahead, Reda envisions Used.ma becoming the leading platform for second-hand clothing and sustainable fashion in North and West Africa within five years. His ambition is to structure the circular fashion market in countries like Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Senegal, and Côte d'Ivoire, while building a committed community around sustainability and style.
Beyond creating a profitable business, Reda aims to make a positive social and environmental impact by reducing textile waste and promoting responsible consumption. At the same time, he is opening up economic opportunities for young entrepreneurs and independent resellers, giving them a platform to grow their businesses.
