The global DPI agenda is substantially informed by experiences from the Global North and South Asia. Africa has its own vast array of contributions 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 digital public infrastructure (DPI) of the future, as an accelerator of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This webinar, co-hosted by SAIIA and 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.
