E-Gov’A 2026, taking place from 14 to 16 May 2026 in Yaoundé, Cameroon, is the first edition of a pan-African event dedicated to e-governance and digital innovation in public services. The event is organised under the patronage of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (Minpostel) and supported by the Smart Click Africa association and Digital Business Africa.

The program is structured around four main components:

  • E-Gov’A Summit: High-level ministerial and technical panels bringing together ministers, international experts, senior civil servants, and innovators to discuss the digital transformation of African administrations and public services.
  • E-Gov’A Expo: An exhibition space featuring institutional, corporate, and GovTech startup booths, along with live demonstrations of digital solutions improving public sector efficiency.
  • E-Gov’A Workshops: Practical training sessions offered by companies and institutions, covering topics such as integrating AI for more effective public administration.
  • E-Gov’A Startup Challenge: A hackathon recognising innovative citizen-led digital solutions
  • E-Gov’A Awards: Awards highlighting outstanding achievements in GovTech across Africa.

The event aims to accelerate the digital transformation of public services, promote inclusive and citizen-centric e-governance, and foster collaboration between governments, startups, institutions, and technology companies. It provides a platform to showcase innovative digital solutions, explore challenges and opportunities in e-governance, and facilitate strategic reflection on building a modern, efficient, and accessible public administration.
