The Afridigest Week in Review is a must-read weekly recap for Africa-focused founders, executives, and investors, as well as interested observers.

Welcome back, friends, and welcome to 2022! Let’s get right into it. The most clicked link from last week was the HBR piece on Digital Transformation in Africa. And a special thanks to all of you who pointed out last week’s error — the correct link to the web3 article is here: Why it’s too early to get excited about Web3.

If you’re new, welcome 🙌 — you’ll receive a weekly digest like this one every Monday and generally, but not always, an original essay/article on Saturdays. For past essays and digests, visit the archive.
