Inclusion by Choice, Not Chance

Digital technology holds the potential to accelerate economic development, reduce global inequality and deliver innovative partnerships to connect communities– but only if we focus it with intention. Conversely, poorly governed and deployed, technology can exacerbate these challenges and threaten basic liberties. In this session, USAID Administrator Samantha Power and Mastercard Vice Chairman Mike Froman will discuss how the public and private sectors can work together to build a trusted digital ecosystem that supports democratic principles and fosters inclusive and sustainable economic development.
