About AfICTA

The voice of Africa's ICT sector — uniting stakeholders to advance a digitally inclusive continent.

Our Story

About AfICTA

The Africa Information & Communication Technologies Alliance (AfICTA) is a continental body bringing together ICT associations, companies, and institutions from across all 54 African nations. Established in 2012, AfICTA serves as the preeminent multi-stakeholder platform for the African ICT sector.

We work at the intersection of technology, policy, and business to ensure that Africa shapes — rather than simply inherits — the rules and norms of the global digital economy.

Through annual summits, quarterly webinars, policy workshops, and active participation in global Internet governance forums, AfICTA amplifies Africa's voice in decisions that affect the continent's digital future.
