Digital connectivity is no longer a privilege - in today's interconnected world, it's a right. But across Africa, digital infrastructure and services are not as accessible as they should be. This session considers Africa's digital landscape holistically, asking:

• How can different organisations, especially those who may have been siloed in the past, collaborate to increase digital connectivity in Africa?
• What impact does digital connectivity have for local communities, and especially for women? 
• How do we ensure that digital infrastructure projects go ahead when some ECAs are reticent to take non-sovereign exposure in emerging markets?
• What role can DFIs and multilaterals play in Africa's digital space?

We invite all guests to join our relaxed roundtable session dedicated to celebrating women in export, project, and development finance. This session is proudly sponsored by HSBC.
