Hard Wiring Digital Transformations Digital Public Infrastructure | Kigali Global Dialogue 2023

Описание: Kigali Global Dialogue 2023 | Hard-Wiring Digital Transformations: Digital Public Infrastructure |

A thriving digital economy requires investment in digital public infrastructure. This involves countries setting priorities, determining pathways and implementing policies that support a long-term strategy for digital transformation that is inclusive, equitable and sustainable. The paradigm must shift from “scale what works” to “what works at scale.”

Drawing from existing efforts in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the Roundtable will provide a forum for a wide-ranging discussion to brainstorm opportunities and identify challenges – including capacity and finance – for building digital public infrastructure at scale. What are the key priority areas in the context of the current global risks and uncertainties? How should it be financed as a global public good? What are the appropriate technology choices for efficient use of resources? Finally, how can new technologies such as artificial intelligence become an enabler of development, and how can they be incorporated into digital public infrastructure?
