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.

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
