The Africa Forum at the Balsillie School of International Affairs, in collaboration with the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), presents a timely discussion examining Africa’s negotiation of digital partnerships amid growing geopolitical rivalry between major players. The panel is based on Negotiating Africa’s Digital Partnerships, a policy research project supported by CIGI and hosted by the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford, which studies how African governmental actors negotiate and manage partnerships in the digital sector with new and rising partners. Co-led by Folashadé Soulé, the first phase of this project culminated in a special report that provides valuable insights into the perceptions of African strategies in digital governance, as well as actionable recommendations for African governments and stakeholders negotiating digital partnerships across a range of subjects. The special report can be viewed here.
