Africa has a history of innovating solutions to overcome infrastructural challenges. A notable example is Kenya's development of M-Pesa, a mobile payments platform created in response to the limitations of fixed-line banking. By 2022, M-Pesa had garnered a customer base of 50 million across seven African nations and was processing nearly 20 billion transactions each year. This initiative highlights the continent's ability to adapt and create intelligent infrastructure that meets the needs of its population.
