There’s generally a communications wall between francophone and anglophone Africa. Both sides could use greater exposure to the other.
It’s no surprise to see a bunch of tech companies and community members coming together for a 24 hour hackathon on September 24th in four French speaking countries: Côte d’Ivoire, Benin, Senegal and Cameroon.

Côte d’Ivoire : AKENDEWA
Sénégal : JOKKOLABS – ACT DAKAR – iHUBSENEGAL
Cameroun : APPSTECH
Bénin : ETRI LABS
