# Digital Inclusion
Digital inclusion refers to the efforts aimed at ensuring equitable access and use of digital technologies by all individuals, irrespective of their socio-economic backgrounds, geographic locations, or abilities. It encompasses strategies to enhance digital literacy, affordability, and accessibility of devices and internet services. The goal is to bridge gaps in digital engagement, thereby enabling full participation in the digital economy and society.
Promoting digital inclusion requires collaborative policy-making and resource allocation to address existing barriers. In this context, data plays a critical role, offering insights into areas of digital disparity and informing targeted interventions to enhance access and usability.
