West Africa
Where we start. Active across the ECOWAS region with anglophone and francophone partners. Major regional programs from the World Bank, FCDO, and the EU are channelling new funding into West African digital infrastructure.
Geography
West Africa first. The continent in time.
Digital Missions starts in West Africa, where the need is most concrete and the institutional conditions support foundational work. From there, we expand into other regions of the continent as our capability matures.
Region by region. Mission by mission.
Each new region begins with a recce. Then a base. Then the missions that follow.
East Africa
Our second region. The East African Community is investing heavily in digital public infrastructure. Identity, finance, and service delivery are the strongest entry points.
Southern Africa
The third region. Stronger institutional foundations and a more developed private sector. We expand here as our regional capability matures and partnerships with SADC counterparts deepen.
North & Central Africa
The longer horizon. We will enter these regions when our continental capability is mature and the political and operating conditions support legitimate engagement.
Why regional
Borders are abstractions. The problems are not.
Terrorism, smuggling, displacement, and trade do not respect borders. We build for the region we are in from the start, designing systems that connect across countries so each new mission makes the network more valuable to every member.
Partners and counterparts.
We partner with national governments, regional bodies, multilateral funders, and bilateral donor agencies. Our partners include ministries of health, interior, finance, and digital affairs. Our funders include the World Bank, FCDO, the EU, the African Development Bank, and major foundations.
