As AI rapidly reshapes economies and public services\, the question is no longer if to act — but how to scale impact\, fast and responsibly. This webinar\, held as part of the ITU Digital Transformation Dialogues brings together policymakers\, industry leaders\, and standards experts to explore how AI-driven Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) can unlock more efficient\, inclusive\, and resilient cities and communities across Africa. \n\n\nCo-organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the African Telecommunications Union (ATU)\, the webinar will be held on 27 April 2026\, from 15:30 to 17:30 CEST. \n\n\nFrom data to decision-making\, from pilots to national scale\, the webinar will focus on: \n\n\n\n\nBuilding AI-ready public infrastructure that delivers real outcomes for people\n\n\n\n\nAvoiding fragmentation and vendor lock-in through open\, interoperable approaches\n\n\n\n\nTurning standards into action to enable trusted\, scalable solutions\n\n\n\n\nShowcasing real-world experiences from African cities and governments\n\n\n\n\nThis is a call to move beyond experimentation — and towards coordinated\, scalable implementation. \n\n\nJoin the conversation shaping the future of AI-powered public infrastructure in Africa. \n\n\nThe webinar will be preceded by the ITU-T Study Group 20 Regional Group for Africa (SG20RG-AFR) meeting\, taking place on the same day from 09:00 to 15:00 CEST. \n  \n\nTarget Audience\nParticipation is open to the ITU Member States\, Sector Members\, Associates\, ITU Academia\, and to any individual from a country that is a member of the ITU and who wishes to contribute to the work.
