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?
