| Summary: | Digital technologies are paving the
way for economic growth and new service delivery models
across Africa. On key digital indicators, Botswana fares
similarly or better than regional neighbors, but is lagging
behind global peers with the same income levels,
illustrating the potential to enhance performance. The
digital economy in Botswana rests on several relatively
strong individual strategies, policies, and regulations.
However, when combined, these form a somewhat fragmented
framework - further challenged by oftentimes slow
implementation. This digital economy for Africa (DE4A)
report considers the digital economy’s five foundational
pillars, as well as cross-cutting issues. The report
summarizes pillar status and recommendations for addressing
challenges: infrastructure; digital platforms; digital
financial services (DFS); digital business; digital skills;
and suggested priority areas for action. |
