Policy Dialogue: British Council X Nairobits Trust
At the Policy Dialogue Event, held collaboratively by the SIDP (Skills for Inclusive Digital Participation) Project (via British Council) and Nairobits Trust, I.O.Me254 joined leaders from across different sectors in Mombasa. The Skills for Inclusive Digital Participation works on giving digitally excluded individuals the opportunity to build their skills so as to access digital opportunities. These digitally excluded individuals include women, the youth, differently-abled individuals as well as underprivileged individuals. The event encompassed discussions on. how to turn digital literacy into real, inclusive impact in Mombasa, based on the project implemented earlier this year by the British Council and Nairobits Trust in conjunction with I.O.Me254, A.P.D.K, Government of Kenya and other key stakeholders. We ended the day with a clearer way forward into the next year, with more potentially-impactful implementation tactics. Lets all play our part and help turn digital skills into sustainable livelihoods, especially for the youth, women, and persons with disabilities.
