Digital Literacy Dialogue | Keynote Address
Charles Juma, Country Lead and Adviser, Digital Access Programme, FCDO, shared lessons from Kenyaโs digital skilling initiatives, highlighting persistent gaps linked to affordability, disability, gender and rural-urban inequalities.
He outlined approaches to expanding digital skills through policy support, inclusive service design and flexible training models, including the use of AI avatars to reach learners in underserved areas. He noted that these approaches require attention to training quality, data protection and accountability.

Many young people have big ambitions but do not have the skills, connections or experience to turn them into opportunities.
Weโre excited to launch the Youth Connect Inclusive Economic Empowerment (IEE) Pathway, implemented by Restless Development Uganda with support from the @UgBritish.
The programme will provide young people with practical training, mentoring, and workplace or business exposure, helping them build confidence and take meaningful steps towards employment or starting a business.
This week, weโre training the mentors and facilitators who will support them throughout the journey. ๐

Today, the Permanent Secretary at @MoICT_Ug, Dr. @azawedde, held a strategic engagement with officials from the British High Commission (@UgBritish) under the UKโs Digital Access Programme (@FCDODigital) to explore collaboration on advancing digital skills in Uganda.
The meeting highlighted opportunities for partnership in digital skills development, AI-enabled learning, and policy alignment. Discussions underscored the need to move beyond fragmented training approaches and adopt scalable solutions that can reach millions of Ugandans, particularly the youth.
Dr. @azawedde emphasized that Ugandaโs digital transformation agenda is guided by a structured national framework that integrates infrastructure, digital skills, cybersecurity, and innovation to drive meaningful and inclusive impact.
A key highlight of the engagement was the exploration of AI-enabled learning models capable of delivering training at scale, including in low-connectivity environments.
The collaboration will also support the development of a national digital skills curriculum aligned with Ugandaโs national priorities.
