SUMMARY:Digital Trade for Africa’s Prosperity
DESCRIPTION:Digital trade is becoming a key driver of economic growth across the globe\, reshaping how\ngoods and services are produced\, traded\, and consumed. With increasing internet penetration\nand the adoption of digital technologies\, Africa stands at a unique crossroads. While the\ncontinent has made notable strides in digital innovation\, e-commerce\, and ICT infrastructure\, it\nstill faces challenges such as regulatory barriers\, inadequate digital infrastructure\, and limited\nfinancial inclusion. Harnessing the full potential of digital trade can enable Africa to leapfrog\ntraditional stages of development and create a more inclusive\, sustainable\, and prosperous\nfuture.\nThe webinar ‘Digital Trade for Africa’s Prosperity’\, aims to explore how digital trade can be a\npowerful tool to drive economic development and transformation across Africa. The webinar will\nbring together key stakeholders from governments\, international organisations\, businesses\, and\ncivil society to discuss opportunities\, challenges\, and strategies for fostering a digital trade\necosystem that contributes to Africa’s long-term prosperity. \nThe online event will cover a broad range of topics essential to understanding and promoting digital trade in Africa\, including but not limited to: \n\nThe role of digital infrastructure: The importance of broadband access\, mobile connectivity\,\nand other digital infrastructure to support e-commerce and cross-border trade.\nRegulatory harmonisation: The need for coherent regulatory frameworks at both national and\nregional levels\, including issues related to data privacy\, cybersecurity\, and digital taxation.\nDigital financial inclusion: Examining the role of fintech\, mobile banking\, and digital payment\nsystems in expanding financial services to underserved populations.\nThe African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and digital trade: Exploring how digital\ntrade can enhance the benefits of the AfCFTA by facilitating cross-border e-commerce\, digital\nservices trade\, and data movement.\nSkills development for the digital economy: Focusing on the skills gap and capacity building\nneeded to enable Africa’s workforce to participate effectively in the digital economy.\nCase studies: Presenting case studies of successful digital trade initiatives in African countries\nand sectors\, with a focus on SMEs and innovation hubs.\n\nPlease register to join us on 13 November\, at 9 am EST (15:00 CET) \nRegister×
