Highlights African countries are considering/deploying digital contact-tracing (DCT) to mitigate Covid-19 contagion. We adopt a socio-technical perspective to highlight complexities entailed in using DCT in Africa. We propose a blended epidemiological approach to (digital) contact-tracing. One that allows policymakers to adapt and translate DCT to the unique institutional and technological capacities in Africa. One that enables policymakers to leverage local practices learned from previous pandemics.
