Infrastructure is seen as key to economic growth and transformation (Smith 1776; Gibson & Rioja 2019). Unfortunately, the state of infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa is worrying and remains one of the top developmental challenges of the region. However, recent developments in information infrastructure and the widespread growth of information and communication technologies (ICTs) have generated considerable interest over the use of ICTs as a means of overcoming information constraints and improving welfare outcomes (Aker & Ksoll 2016). Despite the views of experts that the developments in information infrastructure seem to be manifesting in behavioural and nutritional transition (Hidrobo et al. 2021), little is known about the impact of these information infrastructure on the consumption of nutritious diets and women’s economic empowerment in sub-Saharan Africa.
