Lors from a workshop organized by BOAD pour célébrer son cinquantième anniversaire, le président du cabinet Tactis, actif en Europe et en Afrique, Stéphane Lelux a indiqué que les banques de développement sous-régionales, telles que la West Bank African Development (BOAD ) , play a crucial role in financing investments aimed at reducing the costs of telecommunication services in the UEMOA zone. According to him, telecommunication service prices in West Africa are among the highest in the world. According to him, one of the main reasons is the limited sustainability of telecom infrastructures.
