An annual report of AfriLabs’ impact
AfriLabs joins the Smart Africa Alliance
AfriLabs, the largest Pan-African network of technology and innovation hubs, joined the Smart Africa Alliance in a partnership aimed at guiding and advancing the basic framework to develop the startup ecosystems across the continent. As an international non-profit organisation with the Alliance, AfriLabs will closely support the Smart Africa startup and innovation ecosystem initiatives. ICTs, especially startups, can be a considerable lever of action for African States as they can create wealth and jobs; and improve the efficiency and transparency of the administration, as well as access to basic social services. As part of its mission to accelerate sustainable socio-economic development on the continent, the Smart Africa Alliance has pledged to develop a master plan for an ecosystem of startups and innovation in Africa to support the efforts to update existing policy frameworks in many countries in the continent. This is also part of its flagship projects.
