Equity Group, AfricaNenda, Gates Foundation partner to scale Digital Public Infrastructure in Africa

Equity Group Holdings has partnered with AfricaNenda, supported by the Gates Foundation, to accelerate the development and implementation of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) across Africa. This collaboration marks a significant step toward expanding financial inclusion, strengthening digital payment ecosystems, and bolstering the continent's digital transformation.

The agreement was formalized with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Equity Group Managing Director and CEO Dr. James Mwangi, alongside AfricaNenda Foundation CEO Dr. Robert Ochola and Nanjira Sambuli from the Gates Foundation, displayed the signed document. Dr. Mwangi was also symbolically appointed the Continental Digital Public Infrastructure Champion, receiving a plaque during the ceremony.

This initiative is expected to drive substantial progress in creating more robust and accessible digital financial systems throughout Africa. By fostering DPI, the partnership aims to empower more individuals and businesses with access to essential digital services, thereby promoting economic growth and development across the continent.
