  Summary of your project	Digital literacy is a key driver of economic development, yet many individuals in low- and middle-income countries lack the necessary skills to participate in the digital economy. This project aims to bridge the digital divide by providing structured training programs on basic and advanced digital skills, empowering individuals—especially youth, women, and marginalized communities—to access economic opportunities, entrepreneurship, and remote work. Through international collaboration, KDIS alumni will develop and implement digital literacy workshops in their respective regions, leveraging online learning platforms, local partnerships, and mentorship programs to ensure sustainable impact.
