Africa is undergoing a digital revolution, with increasing access to digital products and services transforming lives and economies. African governments have developed policies to harness these opportunities, envisioning digital transformations and creating legal frameworks for digital transactions. Regional and national strategies are being implemented to drive digital growth. This growth has the potential to foster innovation and improve lives.
To support this growth, the Africa Technology Policy Tracker (AfTech) has been developed as a comprehensive resource for tracking technological policy strategies. AfTech aggregates digital economy laws, policies, and regulations across the continent. It aims to facilitate peer learning among African countries and inform policy dialogues. By promoting inclusive digital growth, AfTech can help Africa’s digital economy thrive.
