Abstract

The information, communication, and technology (ICT) are two interconnected topics that are crucial in today's digital age. In today's world ICT has become an essential tool for communication, education, and economic growth. Access to the internet has become a basic human right, with more than half of the world's population using it, and infrastructure development is critical for providing this access, particularly in Africa. In today's modern world, the internet is a vital tool for communication, education, and economic growth. This paper explores internet access and infrastructure development in Africa, to identify the impacts, challenges, and solutions for improving access. An extensive literature review is done which will assist in identifying and addressing key issues related to internet access and infrastructure development, as well as providing insights into how to maximize the benefits of these technologies for individuals and communities.
