While the two were not the continent’s largest economies, the achievement was reached through governments in both countries having made concerted efforts to stimulate Internet demand. Africa’s iGDP remains low, at 1.1%-just over half the levels seen in other emerging economies and less than a third for developed countries. Senegal has a contribution of 3.3%, Kenya 2.9%, Morocco 2.3%, Mozambique 1.6% and South Africa 1.4%. Senegal ranks higher than Germany, India and France while Kenya ranks higher than Canada and China. The average for emerging markets is 1.9% while that of developed economies is 3.7%.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=ecxmsonormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>The report expects internet’s greatest impact in Africa to be concentrated in six sectors: financial services, education, health, retail, agriculture, and government.
