The new era of digital leadership will be defined by trust and collaboration

In Senegal, expanding digital infrastructure was not simply a technical goal; it was an expression of democratic commitment. Connecting rural communities, strengthening press freedom, and enhancing access to education and services were essential to our nation’s development. These experiences taught me that digital transformation must go hand in hand with institutional trust, accessibility and inclusion. Without these three pillars, technology becomes a source of fragmentation rather than progress.
