Regular internet use keeps climbing on the African continent, but in some countries, only small minorities go online.

Check out Afrobarometer's latest survey in this week’s issue, on and

Let’s connect sometime 

Many of us take our phones and their internet connections for granted. But just how connected is Africa as a whole? It’s a pertinent question on World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (17 May).

Across 30 countries that Afrobarometer has tracked consistently since 2011, we find that daily or weekly internet use has tripled from 14% in 2011/2013 to 44% in 2021/2023. Cellphone use, however, is at the same level as in 2014/2015, perhaps suggesting that saturation has been reached.

Some countries are more connected than others: 81% of Mauritians regularly go online, more than four times the share of Ugandans (17%), Malawians (19%), Nigeriens (19%), and Tanzanians (20%). 

Internet use also shows large discrepancies across demographic groups. Fewer than three in 10 frequently access the internet among rural residents (29%), the elderly (29%), and the poor (24%), compared to majorities among urban residents (62%), youth (52%), and the well-off (72%). Gaps in mobile use are much smaller.

All told, it means that The Continent isn’t readily available to more than half of adults on the continent. We’ll keep the home fires burning ‘til they get here.
