 My name is Marta Job, Vice President for his first venture as a World Bank. We still have a long way to go to achieve universal and affordable broadband access. Nowhere is it true as in Africa where only one third of the population has access to broadband and only 7% has access to 4G. Add to this the fact that only 14% of the population in sub-Saharan Africa is connected to the grid. Achieving broadband access across Africa will require exceptional efforts from all stakeholders, governments, the private sector, development partners and the civil society. Let's all work together to ensure that no one is left behind in this digital world. Africa can achieve broadband for all and Africa will.
