S210 - Digitalisation of public institutions in low resource settings.
Tuesday October 6, 2026 12:00 - 13:00 UTC
Digitalizing public institutions in low-resource settings requires balancing technological innovation with systemic equity. Across Africa, infrastructure bottlenecks and high deployment costs often stall digital transformation. This session examines how public sector agencies can successfully transition from fragmented, legacy offline systems to unified digital platforms. We will discuss scalable hybrid architectures that maintain crucial offline functionality for underserved communities while enforcing centralised online data validation, optimizing institutional workflows, and improving financial reconciliation.
