简报：非洲数字化转型新倡议
12月14日，在华盛顿特区举行的美国-非洲商业论坛（U.S.-Africa Business Forum）上，作为美国-非洲领导人峰会（U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit）的部分内容，拜登总统宣布启动一项新的“非洲数字化转型”（Digital Transformation with Africa，简称DTA）倡议。DTA是拜登-哈里斯政府的一项标志性举措，它将在整个非洲大陆扩大数字连网和扫盲，并加强数字赋能环境。根据非洲联盟的“数字转型战略”（African Union’s Digital Transformation Strategy）和“美国对撒哈拉以南非洲战略”（U.S. Strategy Toward Sub-Saharan Africa），在与国会合作之下，该倡议拟为非洲投资3.5亿美元以上并协助融资超过4.5亿美元。
非洲的数字生态系统在刺激经济复苏、扩大机会、推动社会平等和性别平等以及创造就业方面具有巨大潜力。非洲的数字化转型为美国的出口和服务开辟了新市场，深化了非洲各国政府、美国私营部门、教育机构和非洲侨民之间的伙伴关系，提高了生产力、竞争力和电子政务服务的使用。随着新技术对非洲人的生活和工作方式的改变，DTA将促进一个由非洲社区领导并建立在一个具有开放性、可互操作性、可靠性和安全性的互联网之上的具有包容性和适应能力的非洲数字生态系统。该倡议还将寻求通过数字生态系统并在数字生态系统内增进妇女和其他边缘化民众的权能。DTA旨在帮助各国重建遭受新冠病毒疫情影响的经济，同时推进美国国家安全、外交、商业和发展的优先事项。倡议还将在“全球基础设施和投资伙伴关系”（Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment）下推进投资全球基础设施的投资承诺，包括数字联通。
该倡议将通过三个核心支柱实现其目标：
支柱1：数字经济和基础设施 
支柱 2：人力资本开发 
支柱 3：数字化赋能环境 
DTA是一项利用美国政府各种工具和能力的政府整体工作，包括以下部门和机构进行的项目：

At the U.S.-Africa Business Forum on December 14 in Washington, DC, as part of the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, President Biden announced the launch of a new Digital Transformation with Africa (DTA) initiative.  A signature initiative of the Biden-Harris Administration, DTA will expand digital access and literacy and strengthen digital enabling environments across the continent.  Working with Congress, this initiative intends to invest over $350 million and facilitate over $450 million in financing for Africa in line with the African Union’s Digital Transformation Strategy and the U.S. Strategy Toward Sub-Saharan Africa.
Africa’s digital ecosystem offers massive potential to spur economic recovery, promote opportunity, advance social equality and gender equality, and create jobs.  Africa’s digital transformation has opened new markets for U.S. exports and services; deepened partnership among African governments, the U.S. private sector, educational institutions, and the African diaspora; and increased productivity, competitiveness, and e-government service delivery.  With new technologies transforming the way Africans live and work, DTA will foster an inclusive and resilient African digital ecosystem, led by African communities and built on an open, interoperable, reliable, and secure internet.  This initiative will also seek to empower women and other marginalized people through and within the digital ecosystem.  DTA aims to help countries rebuild economies impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and advance U.S. national security, diplomatic, commercial, and development priorities.  It will also advance commitments to invest in global infrastructure, including digital connectivity, under the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment.
The initiative will achieve its objectives along three core pillars:
Pillar 1: Digital Economy and Infrastructure
Pillar 2: Human Capital Development
Pillar 3: Digital Enabling Environment
As a whole-of-government effort that harnesses the diverse tools and capabilities of the U.S. Government, DTA will include initiatives by the following departments and agencies:
