John Bosco KalisaGUEST
How do we really move away from carbon emission to carbon neutral programs while we need 100 billion US dollars annually in terms of funding the critical infrastructure, which is the energy, transport, ICT, and harnessing our water bodies.

John Bosco KalisaGUEST
So those programs are well crafted, but the implementation and mobilization of the required resources has been one of the challenges.

John Bosco KalisaGUEST
So I think we need to really leverage our continental aspirations, continental agendas, including the African Continental Free Trade Area, the African Want Agenda, the Program for Industrialization Agenda.

John Bosco KalisaGUEST
So the documents are well crafted, well designed, but how do we implement? How do we...

John Bosco KalisaGUEST
How do we catalyze private sector resources? How do we develop a framework around public-private partnership so that we invest in those critical infrastructures that are critical for empowering our new industries? Again, the type of industries we are talking about should move away from the They're heavy and they're so reliant on fossil fuel industries.

Chimu ChimusHOST
So what concrete reforms are needed to make cross-border digital payments faster, cheaper, and more reliable for traders and consumers across the East African sub-region?

John Bosco KalisaGUEST
Indeed, there, there, there are a number of reforms that are very critical, uh, and they are paramount for a single digital market to, um, uh, to operate, uh, thrive, and flourish.

John Bosco KalisaGUEST
One, of course, we need digital infrastructure connectivity across, across the region.

John Bosco KalisaGUEST
And again, we cannot afford as a region, uh, to operate, uh, in a frag- in a fragmented manner.

Looking ahead, what should success look like over the next five to 10 years, and which milestone should signal that East Africa is truly becoming one digital market?
