DCA Accomplishments

DCA has championed .africa  for Africa anchored on 3 key principles:

1-   To brand the Continent‘s product and services so people will know what Africa does and the positives that Africa has to offer.   While Africa’s image has suffered through war, famine and governance issues, there is also another image that the world does not know about Africa, and that can be told through its people when they engage in promoting their products & services for trade and investment in the new .africa gTLD.

2-   DotConnectAfrica has created “generation.africa”, a theme,  to empower the youth to adapt the powers of the internet and  its use, thus enjoying a great following thus far.

3-   A shift in industry from US market of .com and .org  to Africa empowered by the dotafrica registry to Africa, which is to be housed locally in the continent.  This will mean development of new industry and market for Africa empowering African jobs and wealth creation.
