The initiative is one of multiple public and private sector commitments she announced to advance digital inclusion in Africa.
Vice President Kamala Harris announced a partnership Friday that will increase internet access in Africa by 40%, bringing connectivity to 80% of the country.
On Friday, she shared the response to the call — one being the creation of the non-profit Partnership for Digital Access in Africa. Under it, Harris promised to connect 1 billion people in Africa to the Internet by 2030 and to increase connectivity for women and girls by 50%. The non-profit will also work to lower device costs and enhance the digital skills of Africans under a partnership with a bureau within the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Additionally, the vice president shared there would be expanded funding for the Women in the Digital Economy Fund she announced in 2023, which she said has now generated more than $1 billion in public and private commitments.
