Part of this is to look at the critical involvement of digitalisation access in developing countries in Africa. At the end it is necessary to envisage recommendation that can bolster their abilities to succeed due to high investment in these key factors. The research objectives aim at a broad analysis of the influence of the digitalization factor on the formation and development of human capital in developing looking at the relationship between digitalisation and skill development in the context of 14 developing countries. We have used the Kendall’s correlation coefficient (tau-b) to test the association of the variables relating to EDI ranking and Human Capital Development in other to analyse the relationship between variables. The research result shows that Human Capital Index (HCI) and EDI ranking have negative correlation. In any case if the Human Capital of the fourteen (14) developing countries are reached the Electronic Data Interchange ranking will still decrease. The article is concluded with recommendation that developing countries should invest in human capital especially in digital skills and create the atmosphere required for digital access to their citizen in a bid to adopt digital transformation whilst building the human capital development of the people.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Развивающиеся страны, особенно африканские, продолжают отставать в своем стремлении к развитию человеческого капитала в эпоху цифровизации, в связи с этим необходимо изучить уровень влияния факторов цифровизации на формирование и развитие человеческого капитала. В том числе следует оценить значение доступа к результатам цифровизации в развивающихся странах Африки. Также необходимо разработать рекомендации, которые могут способствовать успеху благодаря высоким инвестициям в эти ключевые факторы. Цель исследования заключается в анализе влияния факторов цифровизации на формирование и развитие человеческого капитала в контексте 14 развивающихся стран. Авторы использовали коэффициент корреляции Кендалла (tau-b) для проверки взаимосвязи переменных, относящихся к ранжированию EDI и развитию человеческого капитала. Результаты исследования показали, что Индекс человеческого капитала (HCI) и рейтинг EDI имеют отрицательную корреляцию. Приведены рекомендации, как развивающимся странам следует инвестировать в человеческий капитал и цифровые технологии, поскольку создание инфраструктуры, необходимой для доступа к цифровым технологиям, способствует развитию человеческого капитала.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>digitalisation</kwd><kwd>human capital index</kwd><kwd>electronic data interchange</kwd><kwd>skills development</kwd><kwd>digital economy</kwd><kwd>mobile network</kwd><kwd>developing country</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>цифровизация</kwd><kwd>индекс человеческого капитала</kwd><kwd>электронный обмен данными</kwd><kwd>развитие навыков</kwd><kwd>цифровая экономика</kwd><kwd>мобильная сеть</kwd><kwd>развивающаяся страна</kwd><kwd>процесс внедрения</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Azu, N.P., Jelivov, G., Aras, O.N., &amp; Isik, A.
