franceinfo.fr
The GDC 2025 will explore the multifaceted dimensions of inclusive digital transformation and its role in shaping sustainable development outcomes through the theme "Inclusive Digital Transformation: Social Impacts and Technological Innovations".
As digital technologies continue to revolutionise economies and societies worldwide, it is crucial to examine their social impacts and ensure that technological innovations benefit all segments of society, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
The conference will examine the social implications of this change, debate novel solutions, and discuss digital inclusion policies. It will also explore how technology can advance the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly focused on digital inclusion, equality, and sustainable development, while bringing stakeholders together to leverage digital technologies for social and economic progress.

The GDC 2025 is organized by the GDN in partnership with the Fondation pour les Études et Recherches sur le Développement International (FERDI) and the Center for Studies and Research on International Development (CERDI) as part of their collaboration within the Clermont-Ferrand International Development Hub (PCDI).
This session examines how to optimally tax digital and telecom innovation in developing countries, balancing revenue needs with technology adoption. Building on recent research in Africa, it will consider the level, type (ad valorem vs. ad quantum, direct vs. indirect), and timing of taxation.
The discussion will highlight the equity challenges for low-income countries in raising fair revenue from a concentrated, profitable sector.

P2G, B2G, and B2P digitalisation, it will discuss how DPI can be effectively built and governed to ensure genuine digital inclusion.

Cette formation est spécifiquement conçue pour les administrations publiques africaines et se concentre sur l’utilisation concrète de l’intelligence artificielle générative (IAG) dans leurs activités.
Elle permettra d’explorer les opportunités offertes en matière d’automatisation documentaire, de génération de rapports et de soutien à la décision, tout en mettant en lumière les risques associés.
