INCLUDE platform
INCLUDE is excited to announce the theme of INCLUDE’s new research programme, ‘Digital divides or dividends? Including basic services in Africa’s digitalisation agenda.‘ Share this opportunity with anyone you think might be interested and well-suited to apply!
The main goals of this research programme will be:
- To take stock of digital basic service interventions in different African countries (especially since the boom in digital services in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic).
- To assess how inclusive these interventions are, in terms of reaching and improving the wellbeing of poor and vulnerable citizens.
- To analyse progress in the enabling environment for inclusive digital transformation (incl. physical infrastructure, digital skills, regulation, political economy, and institutional capacity) at the national and sub-national levels to see where efforts and investments could be prioritised.
- To extract lessons and best practices for scaling digital basic services and making them more inclusive in order to reach and support those furthest behind.
Some of the key elements of the research will include:
- A focus on government-to-citizen services which affect the wellbeing of the poorest and most vulnerable people in Africa – education, social protection, healthcare – as well as inter-governmental services like digital administration and identity.
- A look at the relationship between existing continental / national policy frameworks for digital transformation and the experiences on the ground to help narrow the gap between vision and reality.
- Going beyond mere access to basic services, to also look at usage, affordability, relevance and participation (different aspects of inclusion which might explain why certain interventions may not work and help to guide action in this area).
