Today, *Thursday April 19 2018* at *11am EDT*(15:00 UTC) the *World Bank
<http://www.worldbank.org/>* hosts *Digital Economy For Africa
<http://live.worldbank.org/digital-economy-africa>* in Washington DC.
Technology can help African countries skip traditional development stages
to fast-forward economic growth, manage resources more efficiently, and
bring essential services to even the most vulnerable people. To leverage
these opportunities, how can public and private actors come together to
expand connectivity to all? How can Africa equip its workforce with the
skills needed to thrive in the digital world? How can countries across the
region coordinate their efforts to foster entrepreneurship and create a
regional digital ecosystem? Tech pioneers, public sector leaders, and
development partners will address these questions and discuss what it will
take for Africa to build a sustainable, secure, and inclusive digital
economy.
