Description
Digital technology is becoming important in addressing sustainable development challenges. This course introduces participants to the challenges of digital inclusion, the consequences of digital divides, and the opportunities towards inclusive and equitable digital transformation.
The modules focus on digital inclusion, evaluation, and approaches to understanding digital technologies and their relationship with development and governance in a changing technology landscape. Participants will receive training on theoretical aspects of digital inclusion, as well as an introduction to tools used to unearth and evaluate these gaps.
Through applications related to low-and-middle-income countries, participants will be introduced to models of technology acceptance and diffusion, and inclusive design in technology-based solutions to global social challenges.
With the generous support of the Global Gateway initiative of the European Union, this course is offered for free for selected participants.
