Digital Strategy
In countries where USAID operates, governments, private sector, civil society, and individuals are increasingly adopting digital tools and services without the necessary resources to combat cyber vulnerabilities that come with increased digitalization. Strengthening cybersecurity is a guiding practice of USAID’s 2020 – 2024 Digital Strategy, which identifies cybersecurity as a first-order strategic and operational priority for the Agency’s programming to mitigate the risks stemming from accelerated digital technology adoption. The Digital Frontiers Digital Strategy team supports USAID in their efforts to advance this goal across the Agency.
