OUR ACTIONS & PROGRAMS

OUR ACTION PLAN

Digital Africa’s programs are organized around 3 key points:

Supporting high-impact digital startups: 

developing their technical and entrepreneurial expertise and providing digital support, access to finance, exposure to international partners and access to an open data infrastructure.

Fundraising and sourcing finance to scale-up Africa’s tech innovations:

bringing together African and international VCs to partner Africa’s tech entrepreneurs, creating a Digital Africa investor club, setting up an annual deal book, fostering partnerships to encourage exchanges between startups and large corporations.

Advocating policies that will drive digital entrepreneurship across Africa

developing an annual index to rate the quality of the regulatory and economic environment, organizing courses promoting open data and innovation and supporting the African Union with strategy development on creating a free-trade zone across Africa.

Key performance indicators have been developed to assess the success and impact of each program.
