The Digital4Development (D4D) Hub Facility supports the establishment and operation of the D4D Hub and its regional branches, focusing on digital and data technologies in partner countries, with an emphasis on Africa and the ACP regions.
The EU promotes a human-centric digital transformation model that prioritizes empowerment, sustainability, and rights protection both online and offline. It supports scalable, integrated markets inspired by the EU Digital Single Market, ensuring fair competition and strong consumer protection.

Building on lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic, the EU applies the Team Europe approach to coordinate efforts and maximize impact. Launched in 2020, the D4D Hub fosters multi-stakeholder dialogue, joint investments, and partnerships for digital transformation, involving EU member states, development agencies (e.g., GIZ, Enabel, AFD), and tech companies (e.g., SAP, Orange, Nokia).
