The Knowledge and Policy Environment work stream seeks to disseminate knowledge products and foster investment friendly regulation and an overall pro-investment climate for the advancement of deals.
The regulatory and policy environment over the past 20 years in the ICT sector has been successful. 95% of the continent is covered for voice. Let’s take what has worked for the last 25 years and push it to the next 20 to unlock more investments.

In South Africa we have 20 million unconnected people that’s a market on its own. Our responsibility as government is to make sure that we digital skill them and make them ready for technology.
The Hon. Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams, Minister of ICT, Republic of South Africa
The overarching policy challenge on the continent is not enough competition. More competition will drive productivity. We need to move from national mind-sets to regional and continental mind-sets to open up markets and create increased competition.
Pierre Guislain, Vice President, Private Sector, Infrastructure and Industrialization, African Development Bank
