Digital Inclusion
Accelerating access to affordable, sustainable, safe and resilient digital infrastructure for children
UNICEF’s Digital Inclusion team advises, advocates and acts so that children are neither excluded from nor left behind in the digital world. Together with governments, technology partners, development finance institutions and the private sector, we work to accelerate access to affordable, sustainable, safe and resilient digital infrastructure for every child. This strengthens the public services children rely on across education, health, protection and emergency response, while creating opportunity in the digital economy.
