SUMMARY:ID4Africa Conference
DESCRIPTION:“Digital Identity: From DPI to Digital Public Ecosystems”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Theme\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDigital identity is the cornerstone of digital transformation. It enables individuals to participate fully in modern society while also providing governments and institutions with the means to deliver trusted\, inclusive and efficient services. Yet identity alone cannot thrive in isolation. For digital identity to realize its full potential\, it must operate within ecosystems that connect people\, institutions\, technologies and safeguards. \nThe term “ecosystem” best captures this vision. Unlike infrastructure\, which suggests rigidity and a purely technical foundation\, an ecosystem embraces the full spectrum of development – human factors\, legal frameworks\, safeguards and governance. It also recognizes that no single system can drive progress on its own. Instead\, multiple assets\, including legacy systems – developed at different times\, for diverse purposes and across sectors – may need to coexist\, interoperate and be collectively governed to serve the common good. Within this broader frame\, digital identity emerges as the foundational pillar\, anchoring the trust and interoperability that make digital public ecosystems work. \nThis is the exciting theme of our 2026 Annual General Meeting. Together\, we will explore how governments\, civil society\, development partners and the private sector can collaborate to advance digital identity in context – examining its progress\, challenges and opportunities as it becomes fully embedded within Digital Public Ecosystems (DPEs). \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2026 Shift\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2026 AGM theme will mark a clear shift: from a narrow focus on Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) to the broader vision of Digital Public Ecosystems (DPEs). This transition recognizes that sustainable digital transformation rests on the interplay of human\, legal\, institutional and sectoral dimensions\, supported by technical systems. By embracing an ecosystem approach\, we acknowledge the diversity of assets\, ensure interoperability across boundaries and establish collective governance that fosters trust and resilience. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContinuity with 2025\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuilding on the success of our DPI-focused AGM in 2025\, the 2026 Program will expand into ecosystem thinking\, while retaining proven formats such as Plenaries\, the Solutions Forum and Symposium-style parallel tracks.

SUMMARY:AGILE DATA & DPI SUMMIT 2026 – Where Insights Meet Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:The Agile Data & DPI Summit 2026 will bring together innovators\, policymakers\, researchers\, and private-sector leaders to connect the power of agile\, farmer-centered insights with the strength of interoperable digital public infrastructure. \nAdvancing real impact through connected systems for sustainable agriculture. \nFor the first time\, Agile Data and Digital Public Infrastructure will come together in one place — connecting innovators\, policymakers\, businesses\, researchers\, and practitioners who are shaping the future of farmer-centred systems. The Summit will be an immersive experience of active participation for everyone working to make data and digital infrastructure truly work for farmers — and for the systems that sustain them. \nAcross four days\, we will break silos\, unite diverse communities\, and co-design pathways that link data collection\, digital systems\, and enabling policy. Together\, we will identify and advance practical\, inclusive solutions that create real\, lasting impact for farmers and strengthen sustainable systems transformation long after the Summit concludes. \nThe organization of the Agile Data & DPI Summit 2026 is financed by our partners and donors at the Gates Foundation and GIZ (DIASCA Network). \nThe registration includes free access to all conference sessions. To make the most of this opportunity to bring together leading experts and relevant stakeholders for this Summit\, we want to ensure that every participant has a smooth experience and can make the most of being a part of this Summit close to one of the Wonders of the World\, the Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya – “Thundering Smoke”).\nWe have therefore curated two registration packages of which we kindly ask you to select your preferred option below. \nFor more information\, please contact diasca@giz.de
