How Technology can Birth
A New Africa
T echnology is making huge advances in Africa, says
Jonathan Rosenthal. But its full benefits will be reaped
only once basics like power supplies and communica ons
are widely available. Nevertheless, Africa beams with a lot of
possibili es in the technology sphere.
The first taste of these new possibili es came when mobile
phones swarmed across the con nent a decade ago. Within just a
few short years hundreds of millions of people were able to
phone and text for the first me, bypassing monopolis c state-
owned phone companies that kept customers wai ng for
landlines indefinitely. And leapfrogging over old technologies
and business models with mobile phones quickly made other
sorts of leaps possible. Thanks to M-Pesa, a service that lets
people send money through their phones, everyone with a
phone suddenly also had, in effect, a bank account in their
pocket. As mobile money has lowered transac on costs, it has
brought down barriers to innova on in all sorts of other areas,
allowing lenders quickly to assess credit risks, insurers to sell life
and medical cover in small chunks and new energy firms to sell
electricity by the day or week.
Technology
And The Future of The
African
Child
Some of these innova ons are emerging from the
thriving tech hubs that are popping up across Africa,
but most of the technology transforming the
con nent comes from elsewhere. The $50
smartphones on which apps connect motorcycle
taxis and customers in Rwanda are Chinese, for
instance. However, these technologies are o en
being combined in new ways to solve uniquely
African problems. If you want to book a truck to
move your cow, or get an ambulance to go to
hospital, you will probably turn to an African startup.
Much of the money going into African technology
comes not from philanthropists but from hard-
nosed investors looking for a rac ve returns. In
2016 African tech firms raised a record $367m.
Although paltry by the standards of Silicon Valley,
this is helping to s mulate the se ng up of firms
such as Flu erwave, a Nigerian payments company,
and Zipline, which uses drones to deliver blood to
clinics in Rwanda.
Many of these ini a ves are s ll embryonic, so data
on which ones work are scarce. But there are some
encouraging signs that even simple interven ons
can make a big difference. This is not just a top-down
process in which people with technology force it
upon others. Given an opportunity to grasp that
technology, many in Africa do so with both hands.
Jean-Claude Bastos, who sponsors an annual
innova on prize in Africa as well as a tech hub in the
slums of Luanda, Angola, recalls how alarmed he was
when he first put a 3D printer into the centre, only to
find that the youngsters there immediately
dismantled it. “They took it apart, then put it back
together, then did it again. Now if anything in it
breaks they rebuild it on intui on, like it is a
motorbike or car,” he says.
In that spirit, this report will argue that a cluster of
new technologies promise to have a huge impact on
Africa, not least because they can help solve some of
Africa’s biggest and longest-standing problems.
What will all this technology add up to, and will it be
enough to help Africa close its gigan c income gap
with the rich world? The first thing that needs to
happen is for the con nent’s people to gain broad
access to the most basic technological building
blocks: electricity, phones and internet connec ons.

Osine & Anesi Ikhianosime| The Croc Boys

This duo are Nigeria’s tech twin sensa on and they made their way into that with their browser, the Crocodile
NIGERIA browser. As early as 9 yrs old, one of these youngsters came up with the idea of star ng a computer company
and the name he had in mind for it was Doors. Seeing that Bill Gates had Windows already - they obviously
went for the doors. One browser and several interviews and exposure later, the twin brothers currently run
their own tech company called Bludoors and they are s ll very much the toast of teen tech in Africa.

ZAMBIA

Sela Kasepa| Powering Robo cs from Zambia

Sela caught the ears of the world when she got admi ed into Harvard
University to learn Robo cs. Rewinding her story a li le back from
that Harvard buzz, she is known to have mentored an all-girls robo cs
team from Zambia for a compe on she wasn’t eligible to contest in
due to her age. Not actually a teen even with the teenish looks, Sela
helped raise a team of teens for the said compe on and her goal for
the team is to ins ll in them a sense of ownership and responsibility.
She wants their endeavors to move beyond seeking sponsorship for

SIERRA LEONE

Kelvin Doe | Africa's Self-taught

Engineer
This boy is Africa's very own one-man
engineering power house. At quite a very
young age, he builds electronic appliances
he needs and is known to have built a radio
sta on, power generator, etc.
Kelvin is indeed the real deal. He is an
engineering whiz from Sierra Leone who
uses items he finds in trash to build
appliances and ba eries to power them. He
learnt to make these things by himself and
his self-built radio sta on broadcasts news
and music with DJ Focus as his on air name.
He made history as the youngest person to
be invited to the 'Visi ng Prac oners
Program' at MIT and the engineers there
were astounded by the young man's simple
but highly effec ve appliances.

SOUTH AFRICA

Ralph Masile| Taking the Garbage out through Innova on

When the PAQ Report team learnt about Ralph Masile, we went online to see
more about him but didn’t get much. This young African genius have been
buried in obscurity over the years. He is a South African and lives with his
mother and sisters and is known for crea ng all kinds of devices from scraps
and spare parts he finds in junk depots.

Ralph is concerned about garbage disposal and has worked on an innova ve

dustbin collector whuch he calls “Garbage Tiptruck Collector”. He created it to
tackle the problem of refuse collec on in poor neighborhoods and squa er

Adebola, Abiola, Toyin and Eniola| Wonder Teen Girls

With the expected fuel scarci es in Nigeria, it must have
crossed your mind to have a cheap alterna ve to fuel in
Nigeria. Some people might have even wished to turn their
urine to fuel to run their cars or generators. Well, these three
ladies made that wish come through when they invented a
means to power up generators with urine. Their inven on

And The Future of The
African
Child
WRITTEN BY PHILIP ASUQUOTES

B y 2050, around 2.2 billion people could be added to the global popula on and
more than half of that growth will occur in Africa. Africa will account for the
highest popula on spurt with an addi onal 1.3 billion people on the con nent, a
new UN popula on report shows.

The reality of this report shows that more than half of global popula on growth will happen
in Africa. With this in view, there is every need to posi on the youths that will have children
that will double the popula on of the world as an advantage to the African con nent.

Imagine if that said popula on explosion from Africa has more rogues, thugs, delinquents,
illiterates or disadvantaged youths. We’d only have succeeded in making the world two
mes filled with juvenile deliquents and a useless popula on density from our con nent.

That sure would not be a reality to look forward to but not wan ng to have it will not be
enough. We will need to deliberately posi on the African kids of today to herald a new trend
of adeptness and commitment to innova on, forward thinking, produc vity and every
posi ve social a ributes.

Before we delve further into this
ar cle, it is worthy to note that much
of Africa’s popula on boom will come
from Nigeria. Nigeria will become the
world’s third largest country by
popula on, becoming one of the six
na ons projected to have a popula on
of over 300 million by 2050.
Nigeria will literally be amongst the
giant na ons of the world by
popula on. China, Japan and other
Asian na ons have had predic ons
about their own youth popula on
explosion before it became Africa’s
turn. What these Asian na ons did
with their youth popula on has been
commended over me and as the eyes
turn to Africa, one can’t help but
ponder in trepid ji ers.
Asia used her youth popula on to
become the produc on hub of the
world. Asia provided the workforce
that moved the world forward in
technology, communica on and other
aspects of humanity. American
companies could not do without Asian
na ons and they became the real
rallying point for produc on over the
decades before now.
Let’s bring the talk back to Africa and
yes, Nigeria. A cursory look at what the
African youths do in the mainstream
seem to be a patch work of ingenuity in
some quarters and outright absurdity
in others.
There isn’t a par cular direc on one
can point as the main sector the
African youths are all plugged to.
However, many have been seen to
excel in entertainment, tech and
business that rely mainly on digital
skills as well as the regular joe
employment opportuni es. With
these youths as role models for the
coming genera on of children in
Africa, one might have cause to be
worried.
The African child will need a set of role
models to look up to even while they
chart their own courses.
They are seen to be the genera on Z
of Africa and their genera on comes
with their own peculiari es,
challenges and other reali es steeped
in technology.
Already, most advanced con nents
have been paving way for their own
genera on Z to excel. They have
adopted STEM educa on into their
curriculum and have made coding to
be at the forefront of the required
skills for their kids.
African na ons have also adopted the
teaching of coding to kids but this
effort have mostly been ini ated and
powered by individuals.
They are seen to be the genera on Z of Africa and their genera on
comes with their own peculiari es, challenges and other
reali es steeped in technology.
We do need to give some credit to
African millenials (genera on Y)
because they are the ones
championing the teaching of coding to
the genera on Z.
Nevertheless, we’d need more than
the teaching of coding to prepare our
centennials (genera on Z) for a future
that will be powered by technology.
These kids will grow into a world that
will rely much on technology and
those who make the technologies
needed in their me will have the
upper hand amongst their peers.
There is a dire need to s r up their
minds to not be only just users of the
technology of their me but to also
contribute to it as inventors and
innovators.
Technology
And The Future of The
African
Child
Posi oning African kids as innovators
and inventors will take an overhaul of
how they get educated as well as
deliberately making them embrace
the culture of innova on.
The technology gap that existed in
genera on Z (the older genera on)
between Africans and their foreign
counterparts was too wide. That gap
got reduced by genera on Y (the
current genera on of millenials) and
most of the said millenials are making
advances in tech that is making their
peers around the globe look in Africa’s
direc on.
With the incoming age of genera on
Z, there is every need to make the
technology gap between Africa’s
c e n t e n n i a l s a n d t h e i r fo re i g n
counterparts totally disappear.
While the millenials throw in their
efforts into making Africa at par with
developed con nents, genera on X
ought to take them more seriously
and throw in their support too,
especially financially.
The onus is on genera on X and Y to
work together in making Africa be er
for genera on Z. The financial aids and
grants given to African techies by
foreign companies and organiza ons
ought to have been replaced by an
awoken zeal by the genera on Y to
fund an ideal future for Africa.
While we peer over the next years to
see the synergy we need for the
con nent to be posi oned be er for
our kids, the PAQ Network will ensure
we bring these three genera ons
together to work for the excelling of
Africa.
 The 2018 edition of our thought leadership and
