Zipline and Jumia Group announced a partnership to pioneer drone delivery of products – including electronics, fashion, beauty, and health to homes in Africa. The collaboration will integrate Zipline’s automated, on-demand delivery system with Jumia’s existing distribution network starting in Ghana, with eventual plans to expand to Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria and other countries.

“This collaboration will increase access to goods for customers and help small and medium-sized businesses grow. Zipline’s safe and efficient instant logistics system will make shopping on Jumia even more convenient, sustainable and accessible for its customers’’. – Daniel Marfo, SVP, Zipline Africa.
