USAID General Publications Bureau for Resilience and Food Security Digital Strategy Action Plan (Public Version)

The Bureau for Resilience and Food Security Digital Strategy Action Plan (DSAP) follows the launch of USAID’s Digital Strategy 2020-2024. Our priorities for the Bureau align with the broader objectives of the Digital Strategy, as follows:

• Improve measurable development and humanitarian assistance outcomes through the responsible use of digital technology in our programming; and
• Strengthen the openness, inclusiveness, and security of country digital ecosystems.

The Action Plan seeks to guide RFS’s work in digital, which includes RFS support to USAID Missions on this topic, although it is not an action plan for Missions.

This document aims to share the issues and initiatives that RFS will prioritize during the course of the Agency’s current Digital Strategy. The priorities are grounded in an understanding of the Bureau’s current digital programming, its existing priorities and initiatives, as well as the broader context beyond USAID. The priorities serve as a starting point for strategic planning to facilitate greater coherence in our programming across countries, as well as engender collaboration across the technical sub areas of RFS.

The RFS Digital Strategy Action Plan is a three-year plan covering the same time frame as the Agency’s Digital Strategy (through 2024). It may be revisited and updated periodically in the interim as appropriate.
