The global digital public infrastructure (DPI) agenda is substantially informed by experiences from the Global North and South Asia. Africa has its own vast array of contributors to add to the debate.
In a historic move, under India’s G20 Presidency (and with support from UNDP and World Bank), the G20 Digital Economy Ministers reached a groundbreaking consensus on how to effectively shape DPI of the future, as an accelerator of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This webinar, co-hosted by the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) and the International Centre for Tax and Development (ICTD), presents an opportunity to start collating and disseminating Africa’s best-practice and lessons-learned from public sector digitalisation in preparation for South Africa’s G20 Presidency.
