EU EU-EAC DEEP - Digital Economy, E-Commerce, E-Payments, and Public E-Services Programme
Project objectives
The Digital Economy, e-Commerce, e-Payment and Public e-Services (DEEP) Programme partners will work closely with the EAC Secretariat and its partner states to enable and improve inclusive cross-border digital trade and cross-border e-services for the EAC.
Actions and results
Under Estonian leadership, the EAC and its member states will, for the first time, create interoperable and cross-border e-services. For these e-services to function effectively, it is necessary to build them atop a strong foundation. Therefore, ESTDEV aims to:
develop use cases for cross-border data exchange and digital identity;
develop regulatory and organisational frameworks;
create solutions based on the principles of digital public infrastructure for the EAC.
The EU-EAC DEEP project is co-funded by the European Union, Germany, France and Estonia and implemented by the German Development Cooperation Agency GIZ, Expertise France and ESTDEV. The project is part of the wider EU initiative Safe Digital Boost for Africa, which supports Africa's digital single market and economic integration within the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
