Otenyo, Professor, Northern  Arizona University, United States In light of  technologically driven revolutions that are already taking  place in Africa, this book is an important source of policy  insights. -Artwell Nhemachena, Research Fellow, University  of South Africa, South Africa Through empirically grounded  analysis, authors provide an uncommon window into how  African states are leveraging 4IR technologies. -E. Remi  Aiyede, Professor, University of Ibadan, Nigeria This book  is highly recommended for anyone who wants to know what is  at stake, what has recently been done in Africa, and how to  proceed from here. -Nitesh Bharosa, Academic Director,  Digicampus, the Netherlands This book examines the links  between public policy and Fourth Industrial Revolution  (4IR) technological developments in Africa. It broadly  assesses three key areas policy entrepreneurship, policy  tools and citizen participation in order to better  understand the interfaces between public policy and  technological transformations in African countries. The  book presents incisive case studies on topics including AI  policies, mobile money, e-budgeting, digital economy,  digital agriculture and digital ethical dilemmas in order  to illuminate technological proliferation in African policy  systems. Its analysis considers the broader contexts of  African state politics and governance. It will appeal to  students, instructors, researchers and practitioners  interested in governance and digital transformations in  developing countries.
