The IDECT project seeks to foster cross-border trade and regional integration through the establishment and implementation of Digital Payments and E-Commerce Policies. **The TRUST SDK will contribute to these objectives by strengthening trust, interoperability, and transaction reliability across digital payment ecosystems, thereby supporting the growth of digital trade and the implementation of Africa’s Single Digital Market vision.**The SDK will assess trust across systems and operators using transaction metadata where no shared risk assessment mechanism currently exists.
