Digital Disparities in Rural Africa: An Inclusion Review in Algeria

Rural communities in Algeria face significant digital disparities, where access to technology is unevenly distributed compared to urban areas. A comprehensive systematic review of scholarly articles, government reports, and relevant studies published within the last decade. The analysis reveals a notable disparity in internet access between rural and urban areas, with less than 50% of rural households having reliable broadband connections. Rural communities in Algeria are severely impacted by digital exclusion, necessitating targeted interventions to bridge this gap. Investment in infrastructure development, community training programmes, and policy reforms aimed at increasing internet access and usage is recommended.
