OUR MISSION
Advancing Africa’s digital government transformation through collaboration, implementation, and impact.
Mission Statement
To accelerate Africa’s digital government transformation by connecting public-sector leaders and industry partners in a trusted, year-round community that enables implementation, strengthens collaboration, and delivers more efficient, productive, and citizen-focused public services.
WHY THE DGA COMMUNITY EXISTS
Digital transformation is reshaping governments across Africa. Policies are being defined, strategies are being launched, and ambitions are clear. Yet the success of transformation depends not on policy alone, but on the ability to implement complex systems that deliver measurable outcomes.
The DGA Community exists to support this transition — from ambition to execution. It provides a structured, trusted platform where governments can learn from one another, where partnerships can be formed responsibly, and where progress is continuously supported beyond individual events.
CORE AIMS OF THE DGA COMMUNITY
1. Government-to-Government Learning
Enabling African governments to share real-world experience, lessons learned, and implementation strategies. By learning from peers, countries can accelerate delivery, reduce risk, and adopt proven approaches to digital transformation.
2. From Policy to Implementation
Supporting the translation of national strategies into operational systems. The Community focuses on execution — ensuring that digital transformation results in functioning platforms and services that deliver tangible benefits.
3. Trusted Government–Industry Partnership
Facilitating structured collaboration between governments and technology providers. These partnerships are essential to delivering scalable, secure, and sustainable digital solutions aligned with national priorities.
4. National Digital Government Champions
Recognising and connecting senior officials responsible for transformation in each country. This creates a visible network of leadership and strengthens peer-to-peer engagement across the continent.
5. Continuous Market Intelligence
Providing relevant, curated insight into policies, programmes, and innovations shaping digital government. This supports better decision-making and alignment across both government and industry.
6. Year-Round Engagement
Extending collaboration beyond the Digital Government Africa Summit. The Community enables continuous dialogue, sustained relationships, and ongoing progress throughout the year.
7. Scalable & Sustainable Transformation
Promoting solutions and approaches that can be scaled across countries and sustained over time, including shared platforms, interoperability, and long-term capability building.
8. Better Outcomes for Citizens
Ensuring that all efforts ultimately contribute to more efficient government, increased public-sector productivity, and improved access to high-quality public services for citizens.
