The aim of this webinar is to disseminate the results of the five (5) sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) case studies and two (2) Framework Papers on Implications of Digitalization and Disruptive Technologies for Sustainable Growth, Poverty, Inequality, Women, and the Youth in Sub-Saharan Africa. This event is co-organized with the Economic Research Forum, Cairo, Egypt. This forum will bring together key stakeholders who have important roles to play in shaping new research findings, paving new policy directions, and initiating innovative practices in the areas of private sector development and disruptive technologies.

The perceived resultant effect is understanding and reduction of poverty, inequality and mainstreaming opportunities for women in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and sub-Saharan Africa. Specifically, participants are drawn from the industries, private sector practitioners, government ministries of trade and industrialization, labour agencies and fellow researchers who will question the new research findings in the light of the main pressing issues in Africa and globally. We do hope that you will make time to join us in addressing this topical issue. 

This project entitled “For Transregional Research on Private Sector Development, Digitization and Disruptive Technologies” was implemented by Africa Economic Research Consortium (AERC) in cooperation with the Economic Research Forum (ERF) and funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
