Session Description

Digitalisation is a key enabler for stabilising and strengthen the macroeconomic environment in Africa with many markets pursuing structural reforms and creating an environment conducive to shift towards diversification from reliance on traditional sectors towards a more resilient and dynamic economic future. We are convening in this session policymakers, digital service providers, enterprises, and civil society to identify opportunities and quantify the economic value of adopting digital technologies across specific sectors of the economy, and how these can be unlocked through policy reform recognising the critical role that the telecoms sector plays in supporting the process of digitalisation.
