The
Institute for Inclusive Digital Africa
(IIDiA) participated in the MojaCom30 forum in Kigali, bringing together a
delegation of 20 representatives from countries across East, West and Central
Africa to engage in discussions on advancing inclusive digital finance.
The institute contributed to the Inclusive Fintech Forum through a panel
discussion titled “Inclusion, Local Talent and Mobility – Expanding Access to
Opportunity Across Africa.” The session examined the role of digital
technologies and fintech ecosystems in widening access to financial services
and economic opportunities across the continent.
During the discussions, IIDiA highlighted the importance of interoperable digital payment infrastructure in accelerating financial inclusion, as well as the need for stronger links between talent development and emerging opportunities within fintech ecosystems.
The institute also addressed structural barriers such as trust gaps,
institutional design challenges, and cross-border mobility issues that affect
the scaling of digital finance initiatives in Africa.
The forum brought together global and
regional stakeholders including the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation, Mojaloop
Foundation, Co-Develop, Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa
and AfricaNenda Foundation to explore
strategies for strengthening inclusive digital finance systems.
IIDiA said
its participation reflects its commitment to ensuring African expertise plays a
central role in policy discussions, technical development and global standards
related to digital finance, while connecting international dialogue with
practical implementation across the continent’s digital economy.
