Join the Africa Prosperity Network (APN) on Friday, 5 July 2024, at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra for a visionary symposium on mobile money interoperability. This event promises to convene key stakeholders dedicated to spearheading the movement towards cross-border mobile money interoperability in Africa. The gathering aims to foster insightful discussions on how to collectively enhance trade across the continent, ultimately driving economic prosperity.
Achieving continent-wide mobile interoperability stands as one of the pivotal goals of the AfCFTA Digital Trade Protocol, designed to nurture Africa’s burgeoning digital economy. This protocol is not just a technical roadmap; it’s a bold declaration of Africa’s commitment to seamless, borderless digital transactions.
The event, supported by influential entities such as the African Continental Free Trade Area Secretariat, African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), and the African Union, underscores the collaborative spirit essential for this transformative agenda. These organizations, alongside the Africa Soft Power Project, African Development Bank Group, Economic Commission for Africa, and UNDP Africa, bring a wealth of expertise and resources to the table.
By focusing on mobile money interoperability, the symposium aligns with the strategic objectives of prominent Ghanaian institutions, including the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), National Communications Authority, Telecel Ghana, MTN Ghana, and the Ministry of Communications and Digitalisation Ghana. Their involvement underscores Ghana’s pivotal role in this continental initiative, leveraging its robust digital infrastructure to set a precedent for neighboring nations.
In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, this initiative is not just about technology but about empowering millions of Africans, fostering inclusivity, and driving economic growth from the grassroots level. It’s a collective stride towards a more connected and prosperous Africa, where digital borders dissolve, and opportunities abound.
Join the movement, be part of the dialogue, and contribute to shaping a future where Africa’s digital economy thrives, uniting the continent in unprecedented ways.
