MICROSOFT’S ACTIVITIES AND IMPACT IN AFRICA.

Image
It has been a few decades since  Microsoft  came into Africa to encourage digital competencies, internet connectivity and innovation . I would say they have pretty much, kept to this mission. Africa is clearly on the verge of being completely transformed through the innovation in Technology, and with the fourth industrial revolution looming ever larger in the background, the significance of sustaining a chain reaction with a series of activities is the key. For over seven years, Microsoft has been running its 4Afrika Initiative on the continent by investing in start-ups, small-to-medium enterprises, partners, governments and youth while maintaining the focus to delivering affordable access to the internet, developing skilled workforces and investing in local technology solutions. Launched in 2013, the   75 million USD project is running across African countries including, Nigeria, Ghana, Namibia, South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania. In 2019, Microsoft launched  Africa Developme

The training models at Learning Point and TBA have always dealt with digital solutions, automation, and open source systems. Sessions have covered skill-sets and the 4th industrial revolution. We had anticipated that between 2015 and 2025 a significant shift in workforce mobilization would have occurred. What the Covid-19 era has done is put the pressure on people to innovate halfway through. The idea of remote work, virtual meetings, exhibition, and learning has caught on in all industries; with companies and institutions leading the charge. Principal Officers have realized the need to build great online platforms for their organizations, businesses, and schools. This has potentially increased web visibility and traffic. Those with existing set-ups have latched on to get work done from home. Previously, working from home had been grossly undervalued. Of course, computational skills are required to work with any digital platform or interactive interface, and the motivati
