CA-3-D001963001 2026-06-15T06:32:38 The project aims to expand the Digital Opportunity Trust (DOT) economic empowerment programming, which includes social innovation, entrepreneurship, information and communications technology (ICT), empowerment and leadership skills development, to help 200,000 young women and men build entrepreneurial and job skills and use technology to increase their incomes and employment opportunities. Project activities include: (1) recruit youth to take leadership training; (2) deliver entrepreneurship, information-communications technology and workforce readiness programs; and (3) develop and curate self-directed online learning for youth. Digital Livelihoods plans to investigate and develop a network expansion model that recruits and empowers institutions, and teams of young leaders, to deliver sustainable results in their countries. The DOT network expansion model has the potential to be an innovative and effective approach to program scale, adopt relevant digital tools and leverage private sector partnerships.

The creation of a robust ecosystem of partners, through which the resources and expertise of diverse actors can be leveraged, is contributing to project scale (through alignment with national priorities) and sustainability (through local ownership and engagement).
