2) Ensure Sustainable Development and Environmental Conservation: Discussions on climate resilience will help drive actions that can address East Africa’s environmental challenges, with a focus on green technologies and renewable energy.
3) Cultivate Consumer Awareness: East Africans need to understand the risks of free services and their existence as data sources that can be exploited if caught unaware, there needs to be a realization that “if it’s free, you are the product”.
4) Support Innovation and Entrepreneurship: People can prepare for Digital Transformation by establishing sustainable skills development programs and ensuring governance structures that nurture an entrepreneurial ecosystem while respecting people’s privacy.
