Centre of Digital Excellence
Overview
The Centre of Digital Excellence (C0DE) at Genesis supports African governments, their development partners and private firms to harness technology to achieve their development objectives. We advise our partners on how to build sustainable ecosystems that enable transformative tech applications – covering the full spectrum of elements that must be in place.
Our digital economy consulting services include strategy formulation (identifying the right opportunities and how these will achieve the desired outcomes), governance and leadership (co-ordination between government departments, private sector and donors), digital infrastructure requirements (broadband connectivity, data storage and processing and device usage), policy and regulatory reforms (innovation policies, data sharing and protection, sector regulation), human capital development (capacity building of government staff, digital skills development for the economy) and innovative business (supporting private sector innovation, selecting the tech providers .).
We have a dedicated R&D function to design and develop a G:Connect Digital Toolkit to help our clients do their business better. This includes digital applications such as mobile data collection, data analytics and visualisation, chatbots and digital behaviour change tools. Our toolkit is designed to help our clients connect with population groups of interest and make sense of complex datasets to inform their decision-making.
