Who We Are

mission and vision

We envision making all Africans digitally-enabled for the New Digital Africa with a mission to provide skills development and education through initiatives and projects that promote digital entrepreneurship and job skills across the continent with informed research

Our Approach

unlocking Africa's digital future

At Digital Foundation Africa, we believe that building a digitally enabled Africa requires more than just access to technology — it requires skills, opportunities, and systems that empower people to thrive.

Our approach is holistic and inclusive — combining education, policy, and innovation to ensure no one is left behind in Africa’s digital future.

We believe that technology is more than just a tool — it’s a driver of education, entrepreneurship, innovation, and inclusive development across the continent.

Through our programs, research, and partnerships, DFA bridges the gap between digital potential and real-world opportunities. We work with young people, women, educators, and communities to ensure that Africa’s future is one that is digitally skilled, connected, and globally competitive.
