Our vision
By 2035, every African metropolis will have an objective smart city assessment and a clear transformation plan. The Africa Smart City label will be the continental reference for evaluating technological maturity and urban governance.
Our values
- Rigor — A standardized and transparent evaluation framework
- Sovereignty — Designed by and for African cities
- Collaboration — Benchmarking and sharing best practices
- Impact — Measure to act, certify to accelerate
