Region in Focus: Sub-Saharan Africa, Q3 2023

A quarterly update on industry developments, market insights and country KPIs

The Region in Focus series provides an essential quarterly briefing on industry developments, market insights and country KPIs for mobile markets around the world. This edition highlights how around 15% of the population in Sub-Saharan Africa is still not covered by mobile broadband networks. Despite progress, the coverage gap remains significant, especially in rural and remote areas. The lack of mobile broadband coverage in rural areas is primarily an economic challenge. Innovation in technology, partnerships and financing will be required to make network rollouts commercially viable in more places.
