Digital Transformation Strategy for Africa: a Webinar
2023-02-12 13:00 - 15:00 (Asia/Shanghai)
The African economy offers a wealth of opportunities for growth and development and becoming increasingly important as a part of the global economy.
With 1.3 billion people (majority being young people) and growing middle class, the continent is experiencing high rates of economic growth, with several countries emerging as new centers of economic activity. Africa has the potential to become a major player in global trade and investment, as it seeks to integrate more deeply into the global economy.
These factors highlight the importance of African economy in the global context and the need for continued investment and development in the region.
Some of the key opportunities in the African economy include:
1.0 Agriculture: Africa has fertile land and a growing demand for food, making agriculture a potential driver of economic growth.
everyevery.ng
2.0 Natural resources: Africa is rich in minerals, oil, and other natural resources, and there is growing demand for these resources globally.
3.0 Technology: Africa is home to a rapidly growing tech sector, with many innovative startups and a large, young population with a strong appetite for technology.
citinewsroom.com
4.0 Tourism: Africa is home to diverse wildlife and breathtaking landscapes, making it a potential tourist destination.
However, there are also several challenges that need to be addressed in order to fully realize the potential of the African economy, including:
1.0 Infrastructural Deficiencies: inadequate infrastructure, such as roads, electricity, and water supply, can hinder economic growth and development.
2.0 Corruption: Although Africa is not alone in this, corruption remains a significant problem in many African countries and undermines the overall business environment.
3.0 Political instability: Just like anywhere else, political instability and conflict can disrupt economic growth and discourage investment.
4.0 Lack of human capital: Many African countries lack the adequately educated workforce/skills needed to support a growing and modern economy.
Despite these challenges, there is growing optimism about the future of the African economy and its potential for growth and development in the coming years. The following are some ways forward for Africa to participate well in a booming Global Digital Economy.
1.0 Innovation in education, skills, and entrepreneurship is crucial for participating in the global digital economy.

2.0 Entrepreneurship needs to be promoted to encourage the creation of new businesses that can drive innovation and economic growth in the digital era.
We welcome your support and participation in working with major organizations in Africa.

Watch Now

In order to get the best out of the conference for yourself as an individual, your family, your country and our continent, a little preparation is advised. You may consider investing a few minutes to visit the two web-links on the African Union (AU) website (point 3 below) to familiarize yourself even if a little with the AU Agenda 2063 including the 7 aspirations, the goals, the priority areas and the First Ten-Year Implementation Plan (FTYIP).
Beyond the conference, to receive updates on multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research in all fields, entrepreneurial, volunteer and training opportunities in line with your competencies as it relates to the AU Agenda 2063, happenings in key African industrialization priority areas for various countries, smart technologies, intelligent manufacturing, and steps towards creation of the “Africa We Want”, click the link above to register.

This year, in continued commemoration of the Annual Africa Day, while appreciating the achievements of our ancestors, far and near, and diverse innovative continental repair works being driven by citizens of Africa, home and abroad, we have invited 21 speakers, validated leaders in their own rights, from 11 countries to ‘park’ here with us as we drive conversations and plan sustainable pursuit of precise mutually beneficial actionable steps (PREMBAS) which are related to the competencies of African citizens and their strategic partners.
WHY DID WE TAKE IT UPON OURSELVES AND WHAT HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY?

Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2000 - 2015, Africa was left behind...
8 years to 2030, expiry date of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which go by the slogan "...that none be left behind", suddenly COVID-19 comes along and aggravates Africa's already bad 'left-behind' status.
The First Ten-Year Implementation Plan (FTYIP) (2013 - 2023) https://au.int/en/agenda2063/ftyip of the AU Agenda 2063 https://au.int/en/agenda2063/goals which outlines 7 aspirations, 20 goals and 39 priority areas aimed at enhancing the quality of lives of all citizens of Africa elapses next year but much is left to be desired.
Research has it that a key lesson learned from MDGs is that localization of global goals is what is required to gain the type of success targeted by the world through UN SDGs.
Another name for localization would be Precise Citizen Participation through Precise Mutually Beneficial Actionable Steps (PREMBAS).
Due to the severity of Africa’s challenges, the Organization of African Academic Doctors (OAAD), TogetherPeople International, other partners, companies and globally acclaimed African citizens spread across over 70 countries have initiated diverse long-term sustainable initiatives intended to help Africans create the Africa We Want by ourselves while engaging with partners who see mutual benefits!
Guided by the AU Agenda 2063, we have set up the OAAD Solutions for Communities Initiative (OAAD SCI) under which we shall be inaugurating African Competency-Based Precision Citizen Participation Sub-Initiative (ACB PCPI).
