Information and communication technologies (ICTs) could become new growth drivers in Africa and are potentially capable of replacing natural resources as the region’s growth engine. There is no doubt that ICTs are transforming African societies in unprecedented ways, from telemedicine, e-banking, and e-government to education and agriculture. The goal of this chapter is to discuss the diffusion of ICTs in Africa; how they are transforming African economies, as well as the challenges they pose in the region.
