This report is a summary of the the 2021 Africa Think Tank Summit, the 8th edition that was convened virtually on 9-10 December 2021 under the theme Digital Transformation in post-COVID-19 Africa: Opportunities, Challenges and Options for Building Back Better. The main objective of the 8th Africa Think Tank Summit was to explore policy and implementation modalities that are essential to leveraging digitalization to build African economies back better after the COVID-19 pandemic. Think tanks and other stakeholders, including policymakers and development practitioners, shared ideas and experiences and devised implementable recommendations on what works and what needs to change in Africas approach to digitalization. Delegates particularly discussed what capacities are required to accelerate the implementation of Africas Digital Transformation Strategy (2020- 2030) developed by the African Union and how it translates into the implementation of sound digital transformation policies and actions at regional and country levels.
