Final day at the @ICT4DConference One of the biggest conversations focused on the ethics of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and a powerful reminder emerged: technology is not neutral. Many digital systems are designed with assumptions about internet access, smartphones, digital literacy, national IDs, language, and even physical ability. But for many communities across Africa, these assumptions do not match reality. The result? Systems meant to increase access can also increase exclusion. The discussion highlighted the need for: ✔️ Inclusive design ✔️ Local ownership ✔️ Accessible technology ✔️ Community-centred development ✔️ Better representation in digital systems The future of digital transformation will not be measured by how advanced systems become, but by how many people they genuinely include. @gatesfoundation @NRC_Norway @CatholicRelief @DataKind @equalyz_ai #DigitalPublicInfrastructure #DigitalInclusion #ICT4D #DataGovernance #DigitalTransformation #TechnologyForGood #AfricaTech

AI readiness in the social sector isn’t just about access to tools. It depends on digital public infrastructure, AI literacy, and data standards designed with communities - not just for them. #ICT4D2026

Pregnant women in Kajiado County face rising climate-health risks - malaria, heat stress, flooding disruptions - but health officials lack integrated local data to respond before harm happens. We built Climate x Health Pulse to change that. bit.ly/4efySdd #ClimateHealth
