Welcome to Greening with Digital
The *Greening with Digital* programme is an initiative by Smart Africa aimed at equipping African policymakers with the knowledge and tools to harness digital technologies in support of climate action and sustainable development.
As Africa confronts the dual challenges of environmental degradation and digital transformation, this programme explores how digital innovation can drive green growth, support climate resilience, and enable a just and inclusive transition to a sustainable future.
Through expert-led modules, real-world case studies, and opportunities for regional collaboration, Greening with Digital empowers decision-makers to design and implement policies that place sustainability at the heart of digital transformation strategies.
Join us in shaping a greener, smarter Africa.
As African nations accelerate their digital transformation, the importance of effective data governance cannot be overstated. This course introduces you to the 8 pillars of data governance, providing a comprehensive foundation to help policymakers, regulators, and public servants across the continent develop robust frameworks for managing data in the public interest.
Rooted in the African context and aligned with regional priorities, this course will explore the two key areas of focus in data governance:
Existing Regulations and Standards
Public Sector Consensus
Through these themes, you will examine the following eight interconnected pillars:
Policies and Legal Frameworks
Leadership and Governance
Institutional Structures, Responsibilities and Capabilities
Digital Public Infrastructure, Skills and Capacity Building
Data Governance Architecture and Management
Stimulating Demand for Data
Funding Considerations
Data Value Chain Creation
This course is designed to help you understand the foundational elements needed to govern data responsibly and equitably, with a focus on African-led approaches and continental collaboration. Whether you are just beginning your journey or seeking to refine your understanding, this course equips you with the knowledge needed to support data-driven decision-making in your institution or country.
Africa is on an ambitious journey to build a Single Digital Market, and your role as a policymaker is critical to making this vision a reality.
