On 18-22 December 2023, the Winter E-Governance Knowledge Sharing Week for African officials was held in Moscow. Within the week, 44 representatives from 23 African countries, international (UN Economic Commission for Africa) and regional (IGAD, ECCAS) organizations, from heads of relevant departments to ministers, shared their experience of digitalization of public administration in their countries and got acquainted with Russian experience and solutions in this field.
Officials from African countries attended presentations by Russian and African experts (government and private sector representatives), discussed the prospects and directions of further digitalization of the continent and cooperation with Russia in this area. The topics covered ranged from financing and strategic planning of the digital transformation of the public administration to cybersecurity, digitalization of certain sectors (education, taxation), use of artificial intelligence in public administration, and the use of geoinformation data.
Specially for the Week, the HSE Centre for African Studies has prepared a handbook on digitalization of public administration in Africa – E-Governance in Africa 2024: Opportunities and Challenges.
