 Kenya beats all African countries. Kenya is one of the most vibrant and dynamic countries in Africa, with a rapidly growing economy and a youthful population that is eager to embrace innovation and technology. In recent years, Kenya has become a leader in digital transformation on the continent, implementing a comprehensive plan to digitize public services and drive economic growth. At the heart of Kenya's digitalization efforts is the government's commitment to creating a more efficient and transparent public sector. By reducing bureaucracy, eliminating corruption, and making it easier for citizens to access government services, Kenya is working to improve the quality of life for its people and create a more business-friendly environment that can track foreign investment. One of the key areas where Kenya has made significant progress in digitalization is in the financial sector. The country's mobile money platform, M-Pesa, has revolutionized the way people in Kenya and across Africa access financial services. By allowing users to transfer money, paid bills, and make purchases using their mobile phones, M-Pesa has helped to bring millions of people into the formal financial sector who previously had no access to banking services.
