The Good
It takes reconginition of the current and onogoing projects with the African Union on digitalisation , giving context and avoiding the duplication of work.
Women in Tech Africa also appreciates that the conversation on AI and Open data was centered in the policy document
Concerns
There seems Fundamental flaw in the assumption that Government will lead Digitalisation across the continent instead of the understanding that it is private sector with Government enablement . Its is implicit in how the document is written
We did not see proper policy decentives for countries that shut down thier internet intermitently .
There might need to be some work to better expand on inclusivity of minority and women as defined in the document , t is not enough to actually begin to attack the problem .
WE would have liked to see an approach for taxation and engaging with multinational platfroms like Facebook, twitter draring from what the EU has itself done .drawing from the lessons
