Harris unveils plan to double internet access in Africa

Vice President Kamala Harris announced a new partnership Friday that will double internet access across Africa.

Roughly 40 percent of the continent has access to the web, and the new partnership looks to increase it to 80 percent. Harris’s announcement follows a trip last year to Africa and came as Kenyan President William Ruto visited Washington for a state visit.

During a conversation with Ruto, the vice president stressed that the U.S. wants to reimagine its relationship with Africa.
