The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) has received financing from the African Development Bank Group toward cost of the Horn of Africa Digital Market Integration (HDMI) Project, Phase 1 and intends to apply part of the agreed amount for this grant to payments under the contract for provision of ‘External Audit Operations Financed by the African Development Bank Group for the HDMI Project – Phase 1, for the Period March 01st, 2023 to December 31st, 2025’.
Specifically, the project seeks to implement robust, secure and reliable digital trade and e-commerce enablers, promote digital economy and trust substrates and fill gaps with regards to digital ecosystem (cybersecurity, data protection & exchanges and digital transactions). With this phased operation, the gradual development of an integrated regional market in the digital sector will allow the Horn of Africa (HoA) region populations to trade more easily. This will facilitate competitiveness and expansion of the local industry that will meet these new needs (manufacturing in particular) thanks to the widening middle class and maintaining value creation and jobs for youth on site by improving the sub-regional competitiveness, which will attract more capital to support innovation and digital entrepreneurship.
The project includes the following components: (a) Digital trade and e-commerce enablers, which will contribute towards enabling trade and commerce using electronic and digital-based solutions. Digital tools are critical to the success of firms as digitalization reduces transaction costs, helps small and medium sized enterprises integrate into local and global economies and facilitates access to resources including finance, (b) Data economy and digital trust promotion, which aims to support the promotion of digital financial services through government payment systems to ensure reliability of the cash in and out processes of public resources, (c) Support actions, which will complement and provide support to implementation of the previous components, and (d) Project Management, which comprises management, quality control and supervision of the project.
