On 18th December Facebook Africa posted that “More than 139 million people across Sub-Saharan Africa come to Facebook every month, of which nearly 98% come back on mobile.” They published an infographic (see below) to highlight projects and publicise how they connected people, brands and organisations in Africa throughout 2018. These initiatives included rolling out Marketplace in South Africa, designed to ensure safe trading for users, and South Africa NGO Day which brought together 100 NGOs who received training workshops designed to share social media best practice.
They also hosted a roundtable in Accra, Ghana which brought together people working on women’s safety.
