Guinea’s Digital Road Map

Guinea’s ‘Digital Road Map’ is designed to guide the country’s digital transformation in alignment with its broader national development goals.

The roadmap envisions Guinea becoming a leading digital economy in West Africa by 2025, with a focus on education, infrastructure expansion, and the secure use of data.

This strategy draws from regional and international frameworks, such as the Arab Digital Economy Strategy, and aims to position Guinea to benefit from the 4th Industrial Revolution.
