ICT has the potential to transform business in Africa, driving entrepreneurship, trade, innovation and economic growth. This chapter offers a brief sketch of recent trends and the potential of ICT in several areas, by reviewing e-commerce in Africa and the barriers to developing it nationally and regionally. It looks at regional integration initiatives outside Africa and in RECs to see how they incorporate ICT into trade facilitation. The chapter concludes with examples of successful application of ICT in fostering trade and with policy recommendations for African governments, RECs and development partners.
