The dialogue addresses topics ranging from internet governance and data policy to the application of emerging technologies, and support for businesses in the digital economy. Regular discussions at government level are prepared and accompanied by stakeholders from both countries. These exchanges provide an opportunity to share best practices and learn from each other. Current issues can be discussed directly with policy makers and the involvement of the stakeholders ensures that political approaches and solutions meet current needs .

Commissioned by BMDV, GIZ supports the Digital Dialogue with a secretariat. The secretariat
monitors current developments, implements cooperation activities and contributes to strategy building. In Kenya, the activities under the Digital Dialogue are planned and implemented in collaboration with the Digital Transformation Centre Kenya.
