Case study: Regional integration can accelerate Africa’s digital transformation

This case study outlines the importance of regional integration to help countries rise above the limitations of small markets to benefit from economies of scale and access to trade. It draws from the experience of Smart Africa, a regional body, to highlight how creating a single continental digital market can lower the risks and other barriers to investment and unlock business opportunities.

The case study was published in Development Co-operation Report 2021: Shaping a Just Digital Transformation.
