About this session

The emergence, rise and growth potential of the digital economy in Africa, which has been gathering momentum over the last decade, has been fertile ground for innovation, investment and policy-making. Digital innovation in Africa has contributed to social and economic enablement, facilitated inclusion and stimulated possibilities for increased access to education, employment and new skills. Within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic – with its unprecedented, and as yet unmeasured impact – this discussion will seek to uncover how communities in Africa and its diaspora are using digital channels to give, share and transact during this time. Our expert panel will also explore what needs should be prioritised in order for the potential of the African digital economy to be leveraged and fully realised.
