SUMMARY


Digital Frontiers is a $90 million buy-in mechanism available to USAID Bureaus and Missions from DAI implements the Digital Frontiers project, which works closely with USAID's Development, Democracy, and Innovations (DDI) Bureau; the Technology Unit within the Innovations, Technology, and Research Hub (ITR/T); USAID missions; the private sector; civil society organizations; and international and local development organizations to identify successful and sustainable digital development approaches and scale their impact globally.

USAID missions and other operating units can "buy-in" to Digital Frontiers and essentially fund the Digital Frontiers team to design and implement digital development projects.

Digital Frontiers currently implements 43 of these buy-in projects; each with a unique scope and client within USAID.


Digital Frontiers has played a key role in supporting the development and launch of the Digital Strategy and will continue to play an integral role in the implementation of the Digital Strategy.

With ITR/T leading the process, Digital Frontiers will work closely with the ITR/T team to ensure a thorough, thoughtful, and consensus‐led process for the implementation of the various Digital Strategy initiatives.


BACKGROUND


The USAID
Digital Strategy
charts an agency-wide vision for development and humanitarian assistance in the world's rapidly evolving digital landscape.

The Strategy's goal is to achieve and sustain open, secure, and inclusive digital ecosystems that contribute to broad-based, measurable development, and humanitarian assistance outcomes in emerging market countries.

USAID's Digital Strategy has two core, mutually reinforcing objectives: 1) improve measurable development and humanitarian assistance outcomes through the responsible use of digital technology in USAID's programming and 2) strengthen the openness, inclusiveness, and security of country-level digital ecosystems.


The DECA, a flagship initiative of the Digital Strategy, informs the development, design, and implementation of USAID's strategies, projects, and activities.

The DECA looks at three pillars of a nation's digital ecosystem:
(1) digital infrastructure and adoption; (2) digital society, rights, and governance; and (3) the digital economy. The DECA aims to inform how USAID Missions can understand, work with, and strengthen the country's digital ecosystem.

  • Digital Infrastructure and Adoption: Digital infrastructure and adoption refers to the resources that make digital systems possible and how individuals and organizations access and use these resources. Digital infrastructure includes geographic network coverage, network performance, internet bandwidth, and spectrum allocation as well as telecom market dynamics around security, interoperability and competitiveness.
    This pillar also examines behavioral, social, and physical barriers and opportunities for equitable adoption (digital divides, affordability, and digital literacy) — who uses and does not use digital technologies and why.
  • Digital Society, Rights, and Governance: Digital society, rights, and governance focuses on how digital technology intersects with government, civil society, and the media. This pillar is divided into three subsections: Internet Freedom; Civil Society and Media; and Digital Government. Internet Freedom explores factors that enable or constrain the exercise of human rights and fundamental freedoms online. This includes individual rights to freedom of speech, privacy, and free assembly, and the abuse of these rights through digital repression. Civil Society and Media identifies key institutions and how they report on, advocate around, and influence online freedoms. Digital Government looks at the government's efforts to manage internal IT processes and systems, deliver citizen
- and business-facing e-services, and engage with the public through digital channels.

  • Digital Economy: Digital economy explores the role digital technology plays in increasing economic opportunity and efficiency, trade and competitiveness, and global economic integration. Areas of inquiry include digital financial services (credit or debit cards, payment apps, mobile money, and digital savings and loan products), financial inclusion, regulation of digital finance, digital trade, ecommerce, and the financial technology (FinTech) enabling environment. This pillar also assesses strengths and weaknesses in the loc
