According to AfriNIC ( 
http://www.isoc.org/isoc/conferences/inet/09/docs/afrinic_20090518.pdf 
) "Training has been an important part of the success of IPv6 
allocation growth".  There has been several
"successful conclusion of the AFRINIC Training" ( 
http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/afri-discuss/2012q3/001986.html 
).  The adoption by users in Cameroon is 0.05%, 0.02% in Egypt and 
0.09% in South Africa.

The following is about 2012 ( 
https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/afripv6-discuss/2013/001419.html 
): "I would not say that the AF6TF has not produced any results, 
because for those that participated in any of the activities listed, 
be it AFOPs or the webinars, there were obvious benefits, especially 
for those still entering into the IPv6 world, and that was obvious by 
the loyalty seen from the attendees".

The approach was to give free training and free IPv6 
allocations.  Has that produced any results?
