A network of African cities for digital transformation

By improving the capability of city authorities, the aim of a network of cities around digital transformation is to have an impact on the quality of public services, and the relations between the city and local stakeholders, and with citizens. This is done through a combination of local level and network level activities:

•  At the local level,
  • Create engagement and collaboration with cross-sector groups via a Local Action Group
  • Frame the problem well
  • Develop a Local Action Plan, and
  • Test solutions and learn from the process.
• At the network level,
  • Create a strong network of African cities support¬ing and learning from each other
  • Build capacity amongst local teams to confidently use digital tools, technology and innovation meth¬ods like experimentation, and
  • Share results and lessons.
