Journalists worry about their credibility,
Governments worry about unrest.
Platforms care about regulation.
Activists care about their cause.

Africa’s digital transformation is in good hands, led by passionate advocates like H.E. Philip Thigo.
Always a pleasure meeting H.E. Philip Thigo, Kenya’s Special Envoy for Technology and a long-time supporter of @dcorg's mission, on the sidelines of the 15th @CAS2025_ in Nairobi, where we discussed progress, priorities, and opportunities for deeper cooperation.
#Kenya’s digital trajectory continues to stand out, reflecting a strong commitment to innovation and inclusive growth.
Now is the time to build on this momentum, deepen partnerships, and translate progress into lasting impact across #Africa.

At @dcorg, equity isn’t a feature we add, it’s the architecture.
Following International Women’s Day, I’ve been reflecting on what that really means in practice, and I wanted to elaborate on that further.
Because equity has to be built into how we operate, the systems we design, and who leads. At DCO, women occupy leadership roles across the organization, shaping decisions and driving real impact.
And it extends to our work, supporting women-led enterprises and expanding access to digital tools and opportunities.
Because real equity isn’t aspirational, it’s something we build, sustain, and scale.
