Ambitions around an increasingly digital and connected Africa, underscored by accelerated digitalisation in response to COVID-19 and technological change, have profound implications for life on the continent.
We are exploring the impact of digitalisation on the:
- Regulatory environment and governance of data and privacy, digital infrastructure, the digital economy (including employment conditions) and innovations in the financial sector
- Livelihoods, skills and aspirations of young people
- Transformation of the financial sector
- Growth in digital platforms and their role in the economy
- Innovation enabled through digital technology and related ecosystems
- Future of Africa (scenarios and forces for a digital Africa)
