Over the past decade African nations have been increasing their investments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) infrastructure to aid social and economic development. The provision of ICTs such as the Internet, mobile phone and fixed line telephone aims to bring digital opportunities to all citizens in Africa. The United Nations under the auspices of UNDP and the World Bank affirm that such infrastructure would improve the level of development in poor nations. The HDI (Human development Index) as specified by the UN serves as a measure of development in a country. In this paper, we investigate the effects of ICT infrastructure use on human development in Southern African countries. We use regression analysis to explore the impact of Internet, mobile and telephone usage on the human development measures. The empirical analysis suggests that use of these ICTs has a significant bearing on human development in Southern African countries.

In the same spirit, Ref. [45] applied regression analysis to examine the link between ICT: mobile, internet, telephone, and human development in SADC and revealed that the usage of these components exerts positively on human development. ...
