To extend the benefits of economic growth to a larger proportion of the population, Djibouti is relying on expanding the use of IT across the public and private sectors. In addition to improving the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises, an increase in IT adoption is viewed by the authorities as a way to reduce youth unemployment.
Under Djibouti Vision 2035, the country’s long-term economic and diversification development strategy, policymakers have prioritized the ICT sector and the uptake of technology among the population and the business community. The government has been working to realize its goals for a number of years.
