Project description
EU-Africa innovation dialogue for a human-centric digital transformation
The EU-funded IDEA D4D HUB project will promote inter-African and African-European multi-stakeholder dialogue and collaboration on digital topics. The project will support and reinforce the active participation of civil society and academia actors in the digital transformation process. The aim is to boost their contributions to dialogues on a human-centred digital transformation and on joint EU-Africa digital innovations to address societal challenges. The IDEA project belongs to the D4D Hub initiative launched by the European Commission in 2020 to promote human-centric digital transformation worldwide using a multi-stakeholder approach. It is a continuation of the successful 2018 EU-AU Digital Economy Task Force process with the European Commission and the Commission of the African Union.
Objective
IDEA D4D Hub is boosting inter-African and African-European multi-stakeholder dialogue and collaboration in the digital society by supporting and strengthening the role of ICT/digitalisation stakeholders, precisely civil society and academia, to engage and contribute actively to multi-stakeholder dialogues for human-centred digital transformation and by supporting the development of joint digital innovations as a response to societal challenges that hinder an inclusive digital society. The activities of the project are based on the recommendations of the EU-AU task force on the digital economy, in particular in the area of research and innovation and will support the implementation of the EU’s Digital4Development strategy, Common Research, Development and Innovation priorities, African Union Agenda 2063, Africa Connect and Africa-Europe Alliance for Sustainable Investment and Jobs.
