The Smart Africa Digital Academy – SADA for short – provides the courses, webinars and opportunities for exchange to policymakers and regulators to promote the digital transformation in Africa.  With its various learning programmes and formats SADA wants to improve participants’ skills for drafting inclusive, gender-sensitive, and climate-smart ICT regulations.

SADA’s goal is to curb the critical digital skills gap required to enable each citizen to thrive in the digital economy. This is achieved through four essential components namely – Capacity building for Decision-makers, - programs for digital inclusion, - Skills marketplace for professionals, Talent Bridge for businesses. 

With those four components national regulatory authorities in Africa are enabled to develop agile regulatory approaches in close coordination with the digital economy and civil society, that exploit the potential for economic and social development in a digital society.
