Co-organized by USAID, Chemonics, Deloitte, and TechChange, the Global Digital Development Forum will this year focus on three key areas of digital development – exploring transformative questions, industry-defining discussion, new voices, creative ideas for each:

• Locally-led Development: What is locally-created tech? How can development harness local digital ecosystems? What does locally-led mean for the status quo in technology development? Where is local digital development successful? How can digital development foster greater diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility?

• Climate Change: How does digital development respond to this mega-threat? Where are we contributing to it? Who is measuring its impact? How can we help people mitigate or adapt? Who is on the leading edge? What is working? What are they learning & doing?

• Emerging Technologies: Can 5G increase last mile broadband Internet access? What are the opportunities and constraints of cryptocurrency’s use in low- and middle-income countries? Do the risks of AI outweigh its benefits? Will sensors and Internet-of-Things improve geospatial data accuracy? What measures should be taken to promote sustainable use of emerging tech so they are not yet another fad?
