The report is organized is as follows. Section 1.1 introduces the concept of DCI and discusses policy within the context of digital gaps. Section 1.2 discusses the roles of the private sector, government and multilateral banks in Eastern Africa. Section 1.3 looks at the role expected to be played by private capital mobilization (PCM). Section 1.4 discusses in brief the role of public-private partnerships (PPPs), procurement and DCI. Section 1.5 discusses risks in DCI projects and their mitigation, focusing in particular on the role of government agencies as anchor tenants and in overseeing MRRAs. The conclusions and section 1.6 highlights the remainder of this report.
