This article by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change addresses the critical gap in digital skills hindering effective implementation of technological advancements in governments, particularly in emerging economies. The article highlights that while many nations have strategic visions for digital transformation, a lack of adequately skilled personnel often impedes successful execution. To combat this, TBI launched the TBI Digital Academy, a hybrid training program designed to upskill public servants in countries like Senegal, Malawi, and Ghana. The curriculum ranges from foundational digital competencies to advanced AI applications, aiming to enable civil servants to leverage technology for more efficient and citizen-centric governance. The initiative emphasizes the importance of applied learning, with participants developing projects directly relevant to their governmental roles, thereby fostering practical digital leadership and accelerating national development outcomes.
