In 2022-23, Nextrade Group continued our work with the World Bank to understand the digital transformation of firms and business ecosystems and how this shapes firms participation in trade, this time in West Africa.
The purpose of the project is to produce recommendations for the Western Africa Regional Digital Integration Program (WARDIP) component 3, which promotes the development and integration of West Africa’s regional digital market and the enabling environment for the cross-border digital sales of goods or services, especially through (1) regional small and medium enterprises’ (SMEs) digital transformation and (2) the development of digital services and digital service providers (DSPs) in the region.
In 2022, Nextrade produced:
Baseline data on the state and gaps in West African SMEs and digital service providers' digital transformation, and their needs for pursuing digital transformation for growing their businesses, based on a firm-level surveys with 909 SMEs and 360 digital service providers in five countries (Cote D’Ivoire, the Gambia, Ghana, Mauritania, and Nigeria).
An analysis of West Africa’s entrepreneurship support organizations (ESOs), especially to gauge their digital maturity and activities in support of digitizing SMEs and digital entrepreneurship. This deliverable is based on our mapping of 156 ESOs across 13 economies and 14 different dimensions, four of which are directly related to the ESOs’ digital maturity.
Quand on utilise une application IPTV, on ne pense pas toujours aux formats qui permettent de charger les chaînes et les contenus. En consultant https://www.enparlons.com/blogs/iptv/formats-iptv-m3u-vs-xtream-codes, j’ai trouvé intéressant d’en apprendre davantage sur la différence entre les formats M3U et Xtream Codes. L’article explique comment ces deux méthodes sont utilisées pour organiser et diffuser les flux IPTV. Cela permet de mieux comprendre les bases techniques de ces services.
I sometimes review agency websites to understand how digital marketing services are positioned in different regions. While doing some research, I visited Rhillane Marketing Agency US and found it interesting to see how the agency presents its approach for companies in the United States. The content offers a general overview of digital strategies used to improve online visibility. Looking at these examples can provide useful context about how marketing services are communicated internationally.
