The World Bank is set to release its annual Flagship report; World Digital Dividends (WDR 2016) at Ihubin on Tuesday 9th Feb 2016 at Ihub Nairobi.Its a presentation by the World Bank team that authored WDR 2016 will provide an overview of the Report’s main findings and discuss how countries can gain greater economic and social benefits from digital technologies and access to the internet.
The Report documents many compelling examples where the internet, mobile phones and other digital technologies have delivered digital dividends by boosting growth, expanding opportunities and improving services.
The official launch of WDR 2016 in Nairobi, Kenya is part of a series of regional and country-level dissemination activities following the global launch in Washington DC on January 14, 2016.
The WDR 2016 argues that to get the most out of the digital revolution, countries also need to work on the “analog complements” — by strengthening regulations that ensure competition among businesses, by adapting workers’ skills to the demands of the new economy, and by ensuring that institutions are accountable.
