Safaricom Ethiopia announced on March 19 that it hosted GSMA on a workshop to close digital access gaps, particularly in gender and usage disparities.

Participants explored scalable, sustainable solutions and outlined a roadmap to expand digital access.

This collaboration reinforces Safaricom Ethiopia’s commitment to making digital transformation inclusive and accessible for all.
