African Digital Compact (ADC)

As Africa sets out to spearhead a transformative digital revolution, the African Digital Compact (ADC) emerges as the continent’s unified voice in this ambitious journey. Adopted at the 45th Ordinary Session of the African Union Executive Council held in Accra, Ghana on July 18-19, 2024, the ADC was pronounced as Africa’s common position on digital transformation by the continent’s ministers.

This bold initiative is designed to harness the transformative power of digital technologies to drive sustainable development, foster innovation, and ensure digital inclusivity across Africa. ADC brings together governments, businesses, and civil society in a concerted effort to bridge digital divides, protect digital rights, and create a secure and equitable digital environment for all Africans.

By aligning with the Global Digital Compact, while addressing Africa’s unique challenges and opportunities, the ADC is committed to building a digitally empowered Africa where technology fuels economic growth, societal well-being, and a prosperous future for everyone.

ADC is an initiative anchored in Agenda 2063 and the AU Digital transformation Strategy built believed to shaping a connected and resilient Africa, poised to lead the digital revolution with inclusivity and innovation at its core.
