Digital Transformation

As the increasingly globalised digital economy becomes more concentrated and complex, rather than driving socio-economic development, it is amplifying socio-economic inequality, both within and between countries. Africa's first G20 Presidency in South Africa presents a strategic opportunity to develop a truly transformative digital agenda that creates public and social value, enhances local private value creation and kickstarts progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This T20 task force on digital transformation asks: How can we transform the digital and data economy to redress digital inequality reflected in the uneven distribution of harms and opportunities associated with the advanced data-driven technologies to build a shared vision of the future that enables equitable, inclusive, just and sustainable development?
