CONCURRENT COMMUNITY LABS
Starting with this session, we are branching out across multiple venues. Community Labs span all three days. On the first day, presentations ignite discussions on issues and challenges. On the second day, a summary of the issues is presented back to collectively chart a roadmap for changes to policy and practice. On the third day, one facilitator from each lab presents a report on the debated actions, shaping A Shared Digital Agenda for Africa.
Community Lab 2:
The main focus of the session will be on expanding worker cooperatives across Africa to strengthen their growth and ensure long-term sustainability. Through shared experiences, participants will explore the challenges and opportunities of scaling these cooperatives in the digital age.
