This includes leveraging health data, telemedicine, mobile health applications, and digital platforms to provide information, resources, and support for youth’s physical and mental well-being. We also promote the ethical use of health data and ensure data privacy and security.
- Digital Inclusion and Access: We strive to bridge the digital divide and ensure equitable access to technology and digital resources for all youth, including those from marginalized communities. We advocate for policies and initiatives that promote affordable internet connectivity, digital infrastructure development, and digital inclusion programs. By reducing barriers to access, we enable more young people to benefit from the opportunities offered by the digital economy.
- Collaboration and Partnerships: We collaborate with technology companies, educational institutions, government agencies, and civil society organizations to leverage their expertise, resources, and networks. Through partnerships, we aim to create synergies, share best practices, and implement innovative projects that advance the role of IT and digital technologies in youth development.
