E-Society Realities in Sub-Saharan Africa: The Case of Cote d’Ivoire

Abstract

Over the past ten years, sub-Saharan Africa has undergone cultural transformations resulting from the development of ICTs at the political, economic and societal levels. The e-Society, beyond the organizational perspectives or the form that can be attributed to it, uses ICT and particularly the Internet. Through this study, we have looked at the formation of the e-Society in sub-Saharan Africa by querying some scientific publications or other qualitative data to see, as most of the illiterate and poor citizens are concentrated in this area. The study revealed two modes under which the e-Society operates, namely: a Government-Type Organization (e-Government, e-Commerce, e-Education, e-Health, e-Agriculture) and Private-Type Organization (private communities or platforms, working groups and exchanges Academics, social networks). Exploring the e-Society realities will surely rethink the way in which these societies are organized in terms of the evolution of digital technology.
