Kitsoft and Smart Africa to cooperate on digital transformation of governments

Kitsoft, an international GovTech company with Ukrainian roots, and the Smart Africa Secretariat have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on public sector digital transformation.

The cooperation will focus on three key areas – Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), e-governance, and artificial intelligence. Kitsoft and Smart Africa plan to exchange practical experience in digital government, hold joint expert and educational sessions, and develop cooperation on building digital public services using low-code technologies.

Smart Africa brings together 42 African countries and works to advance the continent’s digital transformation and the development of a single digital market. The Alliance provides a platform for cooperation between governments, technology companies, and international organisations, enabling countries to exchange experience and jointly develop digital solutions.

“African countries today face the major task of digital transformation, and for us, this partnership is first and foremost about sharing practical experience. Ukraine has come a long way in digitalising public services and continues to develop them even amid the full-scale war and constant cyberattacks. This experience has shown how important it is for governments to have the technology and capacity to independently build, scale, and develop their digital services. This is the experience and the approaches we are ready to share through our cooperation with Smart Africa,” said Oleksandr Iefremov, CEO of Kitsoft.
