Strategically located just outside of Djibouti City, afridata Technology Park is a mix-use development with digital innovation at its core. This is a unique facility that leverages strong infrastructure and transport links to promote job creation and skills development. The Park is powered by renewable energy and boasts world-class connectivity thanks to our sister-company afrifiber. It is fully managed, with a Tier III Data Centre and over 5 hectares of GLA spread over commercial, residential and leisure facilities.
afridata was established in 2019. It is fully licensed and authorised by Honourable Radwan Abdillahi Bahdon, Minister for the Ministry of Communication in Charge of Posts and Telecommunications (MCPT), to develop, maintain and operate an IT Park or IT Science and Technology Park, including a new Data Center in the Republic of Djibouti
afridata will assist the WBG Digital Economy for Africa (DE4A) flagship initiative to support the digital transformation strategy for Africa prepared by the African Union (AU). The DE4A initiative recognizes that the digital economy can help accelerating the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the World Bank Group’s twin goals.
