The study employed several panel estimation techniques, including the pooled ordinary least squares (POLS), random effect and fixed effect estimators as baseline techniques, while the Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) was employed as the main estimation technique. Results indicated that ICT promotes sustainable development in SSA. The study also found that human capital stifles sustainable development in the region. The study, therefore, recommends that policymakers in SSA should ensure that there is sufficient access to quality education, vocational training and skill development programs to enhance human capital. The study also recommends that policymakers in SSA must address the disparities in access to education and training, otherwise human capital may not contribute to sustainable development.enArticle
