“Artificial intelligence has the power to transform lives and strengthen economies. Africa is well-positioned to contribute to the digital economy. By 2050, our continent will have the largest, fastest-growing workforce in the world. There are many success stories about what our young people are doing on the continent with artificial intelligence. We have to invest in them. It will be a win-win for everyone. The bottom line, is that for A.I. to serve humanity as a whole, we must get it right in Africa and everywhere else.” President Kagame | #AIforGood Global Summit 2026

JICA’s support in advancing digital innovation through pilot initiatives such as Procurement for Public Innovation (PPI) and Proof of Concept (PoC), as well as sector co-chairing and capacity-building programs, was also appreciated.

Future collaboration was discussed, particularly JICA’s upcoming AI initiatives aimed at further accelerating support to the sector.

Minister Paula joined the AI & Digital Transformation Roundtable at the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi today. She emphasised that Africa must be a co-designer of AI — not a passive consumer. Our path forward rests on three pillars: Infrastructure, Skills, and Governance. With the world's youngest population and a digital economy set to exceed $180B this year, the opportunity is ours to shape. #AfricaForwardSummit #AI #DigitalAfrica @MusoniPaula
