CSquared, Phase3 and SBIN Commission Lagos-to-Accra Terrestrial Fibre Route, Strengthening West Africa’s Digital Resilience 

CSquared and CSquared Woezon, through a strategic partnership with Phase3 and SBIN, today announces a new terrestrial fibre route from Lagos, Nigeria to Accra, Ghana, setting a new standard for regional connectivity. 

Achieving latency of just 11ms between Lagos and Accra, this terrestrial route will ensure faster, more resilient data delivery for content, cloud, and communication services – a significant milestone in West Africa’s digital infrastructure resilience. 

This initiative responds directly to the vulnerabilities exposed in March 2024, when a rockfall off the West African coast damaged multiple subsea cables, causing widespread connectivity outages across the region, where to date no terrestrial solutions have been available to provide alternate restoration options in many parts of West Africa. 

We’re proud to partner to extend our existing high-capacity terrestrial infrastructure beyond Ghana and Togo” said Ian Paterson, CEO of CSquared. “This project proves what’s possible when regional infrastructure providers come together to build for scale, speed, and redundancy. It’s a significant step toward a digitally connected West Africa

Our unique footprint in West Africa including our existing CSquared Woezon and CSquared Ghana operations are now integrated into a broader ECOWAS terrestrial solution to help drive digitalisation across the region.” 

The new route forms the cornerstone of a broader East-West terrestrial strategy, offering reliable inland capacity for those 300 million people affected by the subsea failures. This route provides a resilient, high-performance alternative to subsea-only infrastructure enabling digital access for governments, enterprises, and citizens alike. 

This route reinforces our commitment to building a truly resilient and secure digital backbone across West Africa,” said Stanley Jegede, Executive Chairman of Phase3. “The events of March 2024 made it clear that Hyperscalers, CDNs, and operators alike require redundancy on land, not just undersea. With this new terrestrial link, Lagos’ digital ecosystem can be future-proofed, and ensure no nation east of Côte d’Ivoire is digitally isolated again.

The successful configuration, activation and testing of this route was made possible by close collaboration with regional infrastructure partners Phase3 and SBIN, ensuring robust fibre deployment through Ghana, Togo, and Benin. 

This collaboration between multiple partners offers strategic network resilience for the entire region,” added Craig Lowe, Chief Growth Officer at Phase3. “Subsea cables are vital, but diverse terrestrial paths are non-negotiable for today’s cloud-first, latency-sensitive ecosystem. This route will become the primary inland path from Nigeria to Accra, enabling redundant pathways for critical content delivery and cloud traffic.” 

SBIN is committed to enabling cross-border fibre networks that support growth across West Africa,” said Ormar Gueye Ndiaye, CEO of SBIN. “Our collaboration ensures Benin plays a key role in regional fibre resilience and helps position our national infrastructure as a gateway for high-speed, reliable data transmission.” 

The partnership is a key step in achieving CSquared’s strategy of integrating the digital infrastructure of critical West African economies and leveraging its existing infrastructure, both terrestrial and through the Equiano cable system, with robust and resilient solutions. 

The Ready for Service (RFS) date and commercials will be announced in due course; however, it is a key building block in extending fibre reach across ECOWAS. 

While this route reaffirms our collective role as pan-African digital infrastructure leaders, it sets a new benchmark for terrestrial connectivity in West Africa and underlines the importance of regional partnerships in achieving new levels of resilience.

GIFEC to support One Million Coders initiative with rural ICT training

The Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC) has embarked on a drive to renovate and equip all its Community Information Centres (CICs) across the country.

The move is to support the one million coders’ initiative, particularly in rural communities.

The GIFEC Administrator, Dr Sofo Tanko Rashid Computer, who disclosed this in an interview with the Daily Graphic, said the agency which is under the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation would use its CICs to deliver ICT training to rural areas to support the initiative.

Tour

To operationalise the CICs, Dr Computer said he recently embarked on a tour of eight regions to assess the state of the centres.

The regions he visited are Volta, Oti, Northern, Upper East, Upper West, Savannah, Bono East, and Bono.

“We found that most of the CICs have been ran down, taken over by other agencies, or locked down since 2017,” he said.

“It was an eyesore what I saw,” he said, adding “some have been used by agencies like the military as a post for their men. Others have been taken over by other agencies.”

In regions such as Volta, Oti, Upper East, Upper West, Savannah, Bono East, and Bono, Dr Computer said he witnessed firsthand the neglect and disrepair of these centres.

“Some of these centres lacked electricity, while others had essential equipment stolen or packed away unused,” he said.

Assurance

In spite of these challenges, Dr Computer said the GIFEC was committed to renovating and equipping those centres to facilitate effective ICT training.

“Without the CICs, this issue of digitalisation will be something in the mouth and the head,” Dr Computer stated.

“We need to bring digitalisation to the doorstep of ordinary persons, especially rural folks,” he said.

“GIFEC plans to quickly renovate these centres and bring them back to life, supporting the government’s initiative to train one million coders and promoting digital inclusion across the country. With over 200 CICs across the country, GIFEC’s efforts will play a crucial role in bridging the rural-urban digital gap,” he said.

Background

President John Dramani Mahama last month launched the One Million Coders Programme, a national digital skills initiative aimed at training one million Ghanaians over the next four years in coding, cybersecurity, data analytics, and related fields.

Speaking at the launch of the initiative last Wednesday, Mr Mahama described the initiative as a core part of his government’s Reset Ghana agenda, intended to prepare the country for a more competitive role in the global digital economy. “This is not just a fulfilled campaign promise, it is a deliberate move towards building a knowledge-based economy where our people are able to create solutions, find jobs and compete globally.”

He said the programme would help address unemployment and open up opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship.

The programme’s modular training approach will be rolled out across Accra, Kumasi, Sunyani and Bolgatanga, with plans to activate community information centres nationwide to ensure rural inclusion.

The programme emerged as a key manifesto promise of the National Democratic Congress during the 2024 election campaigns, and has been adopted as a flagship initiative by the administration of President Mahama.

Africa’s AI Leap Hinges on Infrastructure, Inclusion, and Bold Policy Action

Africa’s AI future demands urgent investment in digital infrastructure, inclusion, and policy to unlock growth, resilience, and equitable development continent-wide.

Angela Wamola, Head of Sub-Saharan Africa, GSMA, writes about how unleashing AI’s potential in Africa requires bold action on infrastructure.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant concept for Africa – it is a present-day economic and social force. As one of the defining technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), AI holds immense promise for transforming key sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, education, manufacturing, and tourism. But realising this promise demands more than innovation – it demands action on digital infrastructure, policy, and investment.

Africa has already begun to adopt AI in meaningful ways – from precision agriculture that boosts yields to AI-driven diagnostics that enhance healthcare delivery. These innovations offer a glimpse into how AI can address some of the continent’s most persistent challenges, from food insecurity to access to quality medical care and education. With the right policies in place, including a critical lens in adherence to the principle for the responsible use of  AI, the innovative adoption of AI  will be a powerful enabler of inclusive growth, resilience and competitiveness.

Yet the journey is far from straightforward. The continent continues to face significant barriers, including limited broadband access, insufficient reliable, affordable and sustainable clean energy, and a wide digital divide and usage gap. As of 2023, according to the latest GSMA State of Mobile Internet Connectivity 2024 data, only 30% of the population in Africa were using mobile internet, while 59% remained covered by a mobile broadband network but were not using it – highlighting the region’s position as having both the largest usage gap and a notable coverage gap of 15%, the widest globally. Moreover, 4G coverage is approaching 3G levels of coverage whereas 4G and 5G connections had only reached 31%  and 1% respectively as at the end of 2023 with a forecast to reach 50% and 17%  by 2030 This stark disparity is a significant barrier for the adoption of AI solutions in Africa and underscores the need to address affordability, digital literacy, and infrastructure challenges, which are all essential to unlocking AI’s potential across Africa.

There are also deeper structural inequalities that shape access to digital technologies. Cost, geography, gender and education all determine who can participate in – and benefit from – the AI revolution. Without targeted policies to bridge these divides, we risk entrenching existing inequities and missing out on AI’s full potential to drive equitable progress.

Governments across Africa must take the lead in creating enabling environments for AI to thrive. This includes promoting private sector investments  in infrastructure, partnerships in digital literacy to stimulate usage of digital services and the upskilling of the workforce, incentivising innovation, and developing regulatory frameworks that both mitigate risks and promote responsible use of AI. The African Union’s Continental AI Strategy provides a clear path forward, with a strong focus on infrastructure, governance, and inclusive development.

Recent developments, such as the launch of Africa’s first AI-ready data centre in South Africa, signal growing momentum – but we need many more such investments across the continent. South Africa’s presidency of the G20 in 2025 offers a unique opportunity to champion Africa’s digital development on the global stage and to mobilise investment and partnerships that can accelerate progress.

Africa’s AI future is not only possible – it is within reach. But it will take decisive leadership, meaningful collaboration between public and private sectors, and a shared commitment to putting people at the centre of technological advancement.

MTN Ghana CFO Challenges Women-Led Businesses To Embrace E-Commerce And Boost Digital Skills.

The Chief Finance Officer of MTN Ghana, Antoinette Kwofie, has challenged women-led businesses in Ghana to enhance their digital skills and actively leverage e-commerce platforms to scale their operations and expand their market reach at the maiden edition of the African Women in Leadership Organisation (AWLO) Ghana Impact Dinner held on 27th April 2025 at the Fiesta Residences, Cantonments.

The event held under the theme “Strutting into Global Markets: Utilising Traditional & Venture Capital Finance for Business Leverage” aims to spark meaningful conversations across finance, regional trade, investor sourcing, and enterprise development, with a strong focus on empowering women with the knowledge, networks, and structures needed to scale their businesses on a global stage.

Speaking on a panel discussion, Antoinette highlighted the disparity between women’s presence on social media for business and their engagement with e-commerce platforms.

Citing studies from across the African continent, she revealed that although 60 percent of women-owned businesses use social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Instagram for sales and marketing, only about 25 percent of women currently utilize e-commerce platforms. On the back of this, she noted that the limited use of e-commerce tools is restricting the growth potential of women-led businesses.

She therefore emphasised the need for women entrepreneurs to embrace digital transformation. “Many women are fearful of online fraud, but if we could do more by adopting secure payment systems and using global e-commerce platforms and even going further to embed links to secure payment platforms in their websites, it would significantly increase our reach and help scale women-led businesses exponentially,” she said.

In conclusion, Antoinette encouraged women entrepreneurs to invest in improving their digital skills and financial literacy, highlighting that various organisations are available to support capacity building in these areas. ‘So, I challenge every woman-led SME to do a little more in building their understanding of digital platforms. By doing so, you can increase your potential customer base and grow your business,” she urged.

The AWLO Ghana Impact Dinner brought together female entrepreneurs, leaders, and industry players to discuss strategies for business expansion through both traditional and venture capital financing.

The African Women in Leadership Organisation (AWLO) is a distinguished nonprofit organisation, established in 2009, and is committed to redefining the place of African women in leadership to lead authentically and impactfully through bespoke leadership training, cross-border mentoring initiatives, executive coaching, and visibility platforms.

Mobile money and savings: Why trust account interest can improve adoption and usage

download-1

Several mobile money providers (MMPs) now consider credit and savings as core use cases. According to the GSMA’s State of the Industry Report on Mobile Money 2024, “savings is now the second most popular adjacent financial service, with more MMPs offering savings products compared to 2022.” Between September 2022 and June 2023, the number of unique mobile money customers who saved money grew by 38%. The number of mobile money providers that offered savings sub-accounts had grown from 39% in 2022 to 44% in 2023. Providers’ ability to offer savings depends on whether regulations in a particular market support this – particularly paying out interest.

According to the World Bank’s Global Findex 2021, around 15% of adults in Sub-Saharan Africa, or 39% of all mobile money account owners in the region, saved using a mobile money account. While mobile money is being used to save money more than before, regulations in many countries do not permit MMPs to pay out interest earned on these balances. This has not necessarily deterred people from saving using mobile money; if anything, mobile money has entrenched a culture of savings in many markets. In Botswana, for example, mobile money is used to save money – despite no interest paid – due to the low density of banks countrywide.

Regulatory approaches to interest on trust accounts

The GSMA has published a new report, Regulatory Approaches to Managing Interest on Mobile Money Trust Accountswhich outlines regulatory frameworks for paying out trust account interest. The report found that since 2018, more countries have permitted mobile money providers to earn interest on their mobile money trust accounts. At least 39 countries allowed this by 2021, albeit with certain restrictions – such as mandating that the interest be used for customers’ benefit. Around 15 countries also allowed interest to be earned, with no limitations on how the interest could be used or distributed.

Most regulations across the countries studied require non-bank MMPs to set aside an amount equivalent to the total mobile money issued. These funds have to be stored in a float account, known in some countries as a “trust account”. This regulation is necessary to safeguard mobile money customers’ funds, in case of a mobile money provider going bankrupt. Float accounts are typically held at fully regulated commercial banks. In some cases, float accounts can be held at a central bank. In the 10 countries studied in the report (Ghana, Jordan, Kenya, Mexico, Pakistan, Paraguay, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia), float accounts typically earn interest.

Data from the GSMA Mobile Money Regulatory Index shows that many countries in the study had restricted how interest earned on trust accounts could be used or distributed. Fewer than 10% of regulatory frameworks considered by the Index bar MMPs from generating interest on trust account balances. Many regulators do not permit non-bank entities to pay interest in the same way as savings accounts – a bank licence is required for this. Mobile money providers in several markets have been affected by this, leading to a debate on whether interest should be earned from trust accounts (and subsequently used).

Benefits of interest-bearing accounts

Importantly, the study found that paying interest can have several benefits. For all mobile money users, interest payments can offer a passive income – this can be particularly beneficial for low-income users. Beyond encouraging people to save money, interest-bearing accounts can be used to create stickiness and reduce customer churn for the providers. By paying out interest, providers can enhance trust among customers – both in their services and in the wider financial services ecosystem. In turn, this could prompt customers to take advantage of other financial use cases on offer.

MVola, an MMP in Madagascar, exemplifies how interest-bearing savings accounts can create stickiness. MVola offers a savings sub-account within its mobile money wallet, which is free for customers to transfer money into. Customers can earn an annual interest rate of 4% over a one-year period, which is calculated daily and paid every quarter. In December 2023, MVola raised the interest rate from 2% to 4%. This led to an increase in savings account balances in excess of 25%, driven by double-digit growth in unique customers transferring money to the savings sub-account. The ripple effect was felt six months later, with active mobile money users growing faster than registered accounts.

Huawei Unveils Smart Logistics Hub in Johannesburg to Advance African Supply Chains

Huawei South Africa has inaugurated a 14,000-square-meter smart warehouse in Johannesburg, positioning the facility as a benchmark for modernizing Africa’s logistics infrastructure.

The project integrates automation, renewable energy, and artificial intelligence to address longstanding inefficiencies in regional supply chains while aligning with global trends toward sustainable operations.

The warehouse, part of Huawei’s broader strategy to upgrade logistics systems across the continent, employs automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and forklifts (AGFs) to transport goods directly to workers, reducing manual labor and accelerating order processing. According to company officials, these innovations enable staff to complete up to 110 tasks per hour, nearly doubling traditional productivity rates. A unified digital platform coordinates all operations, reportedly increasing individual employee output by 37%.

At the core of the facility’s design is Huawei’s GEM framework, which emphasizes green energy, enhanced security, and modernized logistics. A 150-kilowatt solar power system, equipped with Huawei’s SUN2000 inverters, supplies 90% of the warehouse’s daytime electricity needs. Herman Fourie, a senior solutions manager at Huawei’s Digital Power division, noted the setup not only reduces energy costs but allows potential surplus sales to South Africa’s national grid.

Security systems leverage AI-powered cameras capable of full-color monitoring in darkness and real-time threat detection, eliminating the need for large control rooms. Meanwhile, paper-based workflows have been replaced by handheld PDA scanners linked to an automated inventory management system.

“This facility reflects the transformation underway in Africa’s logistics sector,” said Will Meng, CEO of Huawei South Africa, during the launch event. He cited projections showing South Africa’s warehouse and logistics market growing from $93 billion in 2024 to $157 billion by 2032, driven by demands for faster, more resilient supply chains.

The Johannesburg hub arrives as African nations grapple with supply chain vulnerabilities exposed by global disruptions, from pandemic-related delays to rising fuel costs. While Huawei’s investment highlights the potential of smart technologies to mitigate these challenges, it also raises questions about the scalability of such high-tech solutions in regions with uneven energy access and digital infrastructure.

Industry analysts note that Huawei’s push into African logistics aligns with its broader ambitions to expand beyond telecommunications infrastructure. The company has increasingly positioned itself as a partner in Africa’s digital transformation, with projects ranging from data centers to urban surveillance systems. However, the long-term impact of this warehouse model will depend on its adaptability to diverse markets and collaboration with local stakeholders to address infrastructure gaps.

As African economies seek to strengthen intracontinental trade under the African Continental Free Trade Area, investments in logistics modernization could prove pivotal. Huawei’s Johannesburg project, while still in its early stages, offers a test case for whether technology-driven efficiency gains can translate into broader economic benefits across the region’s supply chains.

GIFEC begins two-week training in ICT for female teachers in Northern Region

Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC) has opened a two-week training in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for 30 female teachers in the Northern Region.

It is to equip the teachers with the needed skills in basic coding and ICT to help in the teaching and learning of ICT in basic schools in unserved and underserved communities in the region.

After the training, GIFEC will give each of the participating teachers a laptop installed with educational softwares to help them in impacting the knowledge to their students.

Dr Sofo Tanko Rashid-Computer, Administrator, GIFEC, speaking during the opening of the training at Sagnarigu, near Tamale, said it was to bridge the digital divide between urban and rural areas of the country.

He said the initiative would be expanded to other unserved and underserved parts of the northern parts of the country including the North East and Savannah Regions.
He said the government was reviving and retooling community information centres as well as rebranding GIFEC to bring digital skills to the doorsteps of the ordinary citizen, especially in rural areas to propel the country’s digital economy agenda.

Dr Rashid-Computer said the beneficiary trainees were carefully selected in collaboration with the Ghana Education Service and urged them to focus on the lessons to help achieve the intended purpose.

Some of the beneficiary trainees narrated the difficulties they faced teaching ICT without the necessary facilities and equipment and expressed gratitude to GIFEC for the opportunity.
