Facebook has released its ‘2020 Year in Review: Highlights,’ an infographic showcasing some of its key investments and work across Africa in 2020.
Supported by an animated video celebrating and showcasing a few people across the continent rising against the challenges of this unexpected year, the campaign aims to highlight the successes, strength, and resilience of its users, while reinforcing Facebook’s ongoing commitment to the region.
Commenting, Director of Public Policy, Africa, Kojo Boakye, said, “We know this year has brought many unexpected challenges around the world, including here in Africa. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we work, come together, and impacted many economies and local businesses.
“Despite this, we continue to see and hear so many stories of resilience, strength, and growth. As Facebook, we remain committed to the continent, and our 2020 highlights reinforce just some of these investments and the impact we’ve been able to have by supporting the growing ecosystems of developers, creatives, and many other communities.”
