May 09, 2022 (ENA) The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has launched today Digital Transformation Centers Initiative in Ethiopia with a view to enhancing the digital capacities of citizens in the country. The Digital Transformation Centres (DTC) Initiative was introduced three years ago by ITU in partnership with Cisco with the objective of supporting countries to strengthen digital capacities of citizens, particularly in the underserved communities. Abiyot further underscored that DTC initiative will also help Ethiopia to enhance the use of digital technology for teaching and learning, administration, research, among other purposes. The Initiative delivers basic digital skills training to enhance digital literacy and foster uptake of digital tools among those at the bottom of the social pyramid, according to ITU. It also provides intermediate digital skills training to provide users with job-ready skills, improve workplace efficiency and enhance chances of employability.
