'''The digital age is here'''

The digital age has changed the way people live, work and connect. But digital technologies have the potential to do so much more, especially for the world’s poorest people.

'''This is a critical moment in history'''

Digital technologies open up new 
possibilities for countries to steer a self determined path, to grow in ways not 
seen since the manufacturing boom 
that lifted millions out of poverty in Asia.

'''The stakes could not be higher'''

Failure to switch on economies for the 
digital age will widen the gap between 
rich and poor countries, and will fuel 
inequalities within societies.

The stakes 
could not 
be higher
The benefits of technology flow 
disproportionately to early adopters. 
This means that countries must plan 
now, or millions of marginalised people 
will be left even further behind.

'''Getting digitally ready will take vision'''

To ensure everyone benefits in the 
digital age, Governments need 
to collaborate and plan with civil 
society, business and the international 
community.

Countries will not see economic 
transformation through piecemeal 
adjustments.

'''The Digital Manifesto'''

The Digital Manifesto 
offers developing 
countries a roadmap 
to put them firmly in 
the driving seat of their 
economic development. 

It offers an evidence based guide to navigate 
the digital age to foster 
fairness and shared 
prosperity for all. 

It is based on the 
Pathways for Prosperity 
Commission’s final 
report, The Digital 
Roadmap: how 
developing countries 
can get ahead. 

'''Ten steps to get ahead in the digital age'''

Craft a digital compact for 
inclusive development

'''1 Design a country-wide holistic digital strategy'''

Agree a national digital compact to 
manage technology for inclusive 
development, with buy-in and concrete 
pledges from government, the private 
sector and civil society. Donors should 
support the implementation of such a 
compact.

Put people at the centre 
of the digital future 

'''2 Empower citizens for the digital age'''

Ensure women, men, youth and children 
receive regular training to enable them 
to meet the demands of a continually 
evolving digital economy. Use digital 
platforms to ensure governments are 
accountable. 

'''3 Secure citizens’ data'''

Build trust through accountable digital 
systems, where personal information is 
secure, and data-use is transparent

'''4 Provide a social 
safety net'''

Protect those who will be left behind in 
the digital revolution, with at least initial 
support from donors and multilateral 
organisations

'''5 Build foundational 
digital systems'''

Develop digital finance and digital ID that 
work seamlessly together, so that citizens 
can easily access services, and businesses 
can establish themselves and attract 
investment

'''6 Nurture an enabling 
investment environment'''

Close the funding gap for digital startups by creating investment funds and 
financing arrangements that draw in more 
global capital for local digital projects.

Reach everyone with digital 
technologies

'''7 End digital exclusion'''

Ensure basic access to internet, mobile 
data and electricity is available to all. 
The private sector and international 
community should support new business 
models and the creation of data-light and 
tech-light services and products to reach 
poorer customers.

'''End women’s digital exclusion'''

Women’s inclusion is crucial to a country’s success – in both a digital 
and a non-digital world. However social norms and business-as�usual often means women are excluded from the life changing gains 
that digital can bring.
Leaving women out of digital progress risks further excluding them 
from economic progress.
Leaders need to work collaboratively to proactively design digital 
strategies that include women. These strategies need to overcome 
the societal barriers which restrict women’s access and use of 
technology and keep them disconnected from the digital word. 

But for systemic change, 
there needs to be a shift 
in expectations for what 
women should and could 
do. This requires greater 
investments in women 
and girls’ digital education. 
This will allow countries to 
benefit from women’s vast, 
untapped potential. It will also 
give women more confidence 
and greater capacity to 
participate in economic and 
public life.

Govern technology 
for the future

'''8 Transform the health and education of your population'''

Use digital technologies to improve 
the quality, cost-efficiency and reach 
of public services for a healthier and 
better-educated population.

'''9 Create adaptive localised tech regulations'''

Laws and regulations need to be 
flexible to keep up with the rapid 
speed of technological change. Do not 
import global tech policies wholesale, 
but use your data and context to 
customize country-specific laws that 
work for your country.

'''10 Coordinate internationally'''

No country is a digital island. 
Countries need to ensure that cross border regulations benefit everyone. 
Countries should coordinate with 
each other on tech governance. 
Richer nations must make space for 
developing countries in global rule making.

The Digital Manifesto is based on the Pathways for 
Prosperity Commission’s final report The Digital Roadmap: 
how developing countries can get ahead. This report is 
the culmination of two years of research and analysis 
undertaken by the Commission. It is underpinned by 
learning from extensive engagement with civil society, 
policymakers, entrepreneurs, and academics around the 
world. 

The Digital Roadmap lays out detailed and pragmatic 
recommendations for all actors – governments, the 
private sector, civil society, and the international 
community – to seize the opportunities that the digital 
age presents.
