摘要
Many countries in the world competed to integrate technology in all sectors, and some of them were able to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in this area. However, African countries face several challenges in the field of digitalization. This article aims to study the results of these difficulties that appeared clearly during the COVID-19 crisis. The study used a SWOT analysis to highlight the status of the digital transformation in Africa. The results recommend that the countries need to integrate the digital innovation into the systems of work, education, healthcare, and environment. Also, it proved that these challenges, especially those related to the digital integration, represents a great obstacle to achieve the goals of sustainable development.
