Putin’s Daughter Offers Digital Expertise to Africa 

Delegates from 36 African countries have been invited to Moscow next month to pitch digital services to Russian investors and IT specialists. The project is supported by the Innopraktika Centre, which is affiliated with the National Intellectual Development Foundation where Russia’s President Vladimir Putin’s younger daughter, Katerina Tikhonova, is the general director. The programme aims to promote the exchange of knowledge and experience in the field of e-governance between Russia and African countries. The programme will provide training, including lectures, seminars, workshops, and other learning activities led by Russian and African experts. The training will cover the theoretical aspects of e-governance, regulations, and technological solutions, with a focus on practical case studies. Andrey Maslov, deputy executive director for Innopraktika, says the project was pivotal due to a significant demand for digitisation of public services, and high growth rates in African countries.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/africa-tech-news--5512041/support.
