Digitalisation and Public Policy in Africa: GovTech and CivicTech Innovations

The first part of the book traces the emergence of digital technologies in public administration, and assesses their benefits and challenges, especially in the Global South. The following chapters present case studies from across Africa and various policy sectors to show how GovTechs and CivicTechs operate. They demonstrate how digital platforms can be used to protect data, enhance democracy, improve food systems, and reduce corruption.

The book will appeal to all those interested in public policy, public administration, emerging technologies, and African politics.
