This study examines the structural, financial, and economic determinants of ICT diffusion in 37 Sub-Saharan African economies from 2012–2022. Using a composite ICT Diffusion Index developed through Principal Component Analysis and estimated via a two-step System GMM model, it addresses endogeneity and unobserved heterogeneity. Results reveal that GDP per capita, urbanization, and domestic credit are key drivers of ICT diffusion, highlighting the roles of economic prosperity, spatial concentration, and financial depth. Electricity access has a positive yet conditional effect, while investment quality matters more than quantity. Overall, ICT diffusion in SSA is dynamic, cumulative, and path-dependent.
