Title : ePayment and eBusiness in Africa

Speaker: Sagbo Pierre Dandjinou, CEO, Strategic Consulting Group (SCG)

Abstract: Current trends in ICT developments in Africa indicate that 
m-banking is likely to become popular in almost all African countries, 
as epitomized by successful trials in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ghana and South Africa. 
Also, the African continent is now poised to benefit from not less than 
10 submarine cables surrounding it or parts of it and plans are available 
for extending connectivity inland. One could therefore expect a huge impact 
on the African business and overall economic environment, which generates new jobs, 
innovations and investments. This paper considers these positive trends 
and seeks to map out major epayment and ebusiness initiatives across 
Africa on the one hand, and highlight lessons to learn on the other hand.
