Leveraging Private Flows from Digital Technology to Finance SDGs in Africa: E-Business Revenue Opportunities Amidst IFF Challenges

The sixth session of the Africa Regional Forum on Sustainable Development seeks to ‘ Deliver a Transformed and Prosperous Africa through the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063″. The forum seeks to explore, gain insights into, share and agree on collective regional efforts towards accelerating the implementation of these agendas. This policy brief supports targeted steps toward leveraging private flows from digitalisation of the economy to achieve the goals of the agendas within set time frame. It also cautions against the potential of digitalisation to enable illicit financial flows if left unregulated. This policy brief presents specific discussions and action points to be considered.
