The project is the culmination of its partnership with the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to identify and boost the capacity of key digital players, and engender inclusive public-private sector collaboration to enable digital growth and capabilities in Nigeria.
The DECoP, which is an alliance of stakeholders in the digital economy, will be nested in the Digital Economy Policy Commission (DEPC) of the NESG, with technical support from the PIC. The DEPC drives public-private sector dialogues and interventions within the digital sector.
Since April 2022, the PIC has been progressively implementing this FCDO-funded intervention, tagged the ‘Sustainable and Inclusive Digital Transformation Project’, to create a framework for key players in the digital sector co-create strategies for digital cooperation in Nigeria that will facilitate the implementation of the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy 2020-2030.
