Breaking Barriers

How we can close the Usage Gap

Breaking Barriers is our campaign to break the Usage Gap fronted by Asisat Oshoala, a Nigerian professional footballer. Asisat is the six-time and reigning African Women’s Footballer of the Year.

3 billion people – 38% of the world’s population – remain unconnected to online services and this is especially prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa. But only 5% globally, live in areas not covered by a mobile broadband network.

Of the unconnected, 88% have access to mobile broadband but face other barriers preventing them from using digital services.

This is the Usage Gap. And it currently affects 3 billion people globally.
