Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>President Sahle-Work Zewde said that accelerating digital transformation is crucial to ensure inclusive and sustainable development in Africa.<\/p>\n

A discussion under the theme “Expansion of Digitalization for Africa Transformation” is in progress at the Pan-African Hall in the Adwa Victory Memorial Museum.<\/p>\n

President Sahle-Work Zewde said technology has an irreplaceable role in harnessing Africa’s potential.<\/p>\n

Speeding up digitalization is convenient for dealing with pressures and providing quick solutions for problems, she noted, adding that the expansion of digitalization will play a significant role in creating the prosperous Africa we want in 2063.<\/p>\n

The president recalled that the continental digital transformation roadmap 2023-2030 has been under implementation.<\/p>\n

According to her, Ethiopia has designed a digital 2025 strategy that is in line with the continent’s conviction.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, the country has been carrying out extensive activities on the expansion of telecom infrastructure, internet access, and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

However, digitalization that has a positive role for economic growth will create security risk unless we use it properly, the president said.<\/p>\n

She asked leaders of the continent so that the generation will excel in technology.<\/p>\n

Digital transformation should be accelerated in order to ensure sustainable development in Africa, she added.<\/p>\n

Leaders of member countries of the African Union are expected to reflect on the role of digitalization in making the continental transition in Africa a reality.<\/p>\n

High government officials and heads of institutions as well as Mayor Adanech Abebe are attending the discussion organized by Ethiopia on the sidelines of the 37th AU Summit.<\/p>\n
