Digital literacy is the ability to use information and communication technologies to find, evaluate, create, and communicate information. This nationwide initiative aims to provide digital literacy training to 5 million Ethiopian youth by 2026, equipping them with essential digital skills for education, life, and work. The program will empower youth to leverage technology for economic opportunity.
As Ethiopia pursues emergence as a lower-middle income nation, developing digital literacy amongst citizens, especially youth, is crucial for competitiveness and inclusive growth. This large-scale initiative will provide foundational digital skills training to 5 million Ethiopian youth over the next 3 years. Equipping youth with digital literacy will enable them to actively contribute to and benefit from Ethiopia’s development.
The core objectives of the Digital Literacy for Ethiopian Youth initiative are:
Provide basic digital literacy training to 5 million Ethiopian youth by 2026
Ensure at least 50% of trainees are young women
Equip youth from all regions, with focus on rural areas
Partner with schools, TVET institutes and other centers to integrate training into curriculums
Foster youth creativity, problem-solving and innovation through digital skills application
Build a sustainable, large-scale program via multi-stakeholde
