The Digital Opportunity - USAID
Like railways and roads before it, the internet is unleashing waves of innovation and transforming the way in which businesses, consumers, and governments operate and interact with each other. The rapid growth in mobile phone ownership and mobile broadband usage is serving only to accelerate this digital revolution.
This new found access to digital information and services is empowering individuals, opening new channels for delivering more effective and scalable services from governments and the private sector, and enabling a more adaptive, data-driven approach to decision making.
The opportunity is clear, but it is not a forgone conclusion that digital technologies will benefit those who arguably stand to gain the most.
Four billion people in developing countries still don’t have access to the internet, including a staggering 93 percent of households in the least developed countries. And women are, on average, 14 percent less likely to own mobile phones than their male counterparts.
=================================================================================
This collection focuses on apps for mobile devices, mobile devices that are self-contained and links to organizations developing tools. This is intended as a guide for discussion at all levels of development - from those who have few resources available to those who have a higher level of resources but may not be aware of their potential.
We welcome additional references, so please send us any additional information that might help others.
