Accra, Ghana — 13/07/2026
The Institute for Inclusive Digital Africa (IIDiA) is honored to announce the appointment of Steven Anthony Ursino, a veteran specialist of international development with a career deeply interwoven with Africa’s progress over decades, to its Board of Directors. This appointment anchors IIDiA’s governance with unparalleled operational expertise in transforming fragile systems into foundations for sustainable development.
A sustainable development management specialist, Mr. Ursino brings a rare 45-year continuum of leadership forged in the crucible of on-the-ground execution. His expertise spans advisory services and support for the full range of national development policies and strategies: rights-based governance, strategic programme decentralization, civil society fortification and the advancement of micro and small enterprises as engines of community wealth. His work has consistently placed human development, poverty reduction, environmental sustainability and women’s economic empowerment at the center of policy, not its periphery.
Mr. Ursino’s methodical, systems-based approach to decentralization and capacity development is exactly the catalyst needed to ensure digital inclusion is not a standalone sector, but a thread woven into accountable governance and strengthening the local economic fabric.
IIDiA reaffirms its uncompromising pursuit of institutional excellence and world-class public-private collaboration. The appointment of Mr. Steven Anthony Ursino underscores IIDiA’s core conviction that the path to a digitized, prosperous Africa relies on blending cutting-edge innovation with deep-rooted structural governance and seasoned international expertise.
