Africa Data Centres, a Kenya-based subsidiary of Cassava Technologies, has reaffirmed its partnership with the U.S. International Development Finance Corp (DFC) to bolster information and communication technologies (ICT) infrastructure across Africa. DFC's ongoing interest supports Africa Data Centres' expansion in DFC-eligible nations, including Ghana. The commitment involves a $300 million DFC financing initiative for a groundbreaking data center in Ghana, capable of delivering up to 30 megawatts of information technologies load. This collaboration underscores the U.S. commitment to 21st-century infrastructure and its backing of secure and reliable ICT infrastructure, fostering economic growth in Ghana.
Cassava Technologies, headquartered in London, is a technology company with a presence in thirty one countries, offering an integrated ecosystem of digital services and infrastructure. On the other hand, Africa Data Centres is Africa's largest interconnected data center network. The partnership's significance lies in the pivotal role technology plays in Ghana's journey toward becoming a digital economy, attracting investment and digital entities to promote local data usage and development.
