Currently, in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, USAID programs increasingly aim to achieve these objectives via the safe and informed use of digital tools. USAID’s focus on digital literacy enhances beneficiaries’ access to educational opportunities and helps them update their skills, bolstering their employment prospects. Ultimately, by collaborating with partner governments and other stakeholders in the education sector, USAID digital-focused programs prepare educatorsand learners to leverage digital tools for responsible and effective economic, social, and political participation.  \nDefinition of Digital Literacy  \nUSAID, building on UNESCO’s definition of the term, defines digital literacy as “The ability to access, manage, understand, integrate, communicate, evaluate, and create information safely and appropriately through digital devices and networked technologies for participation in economic, social, and political life.”  \nUSAID’s Digital Literacy Framework  \nTwo pillars underpin USAID’s definition of digital literacy: capacity and safety.  \n• Capacity refers to the technical knowledge and skills required to use a variety of digital devices and services such as mobile phones; tablets and computers; the Internet; messaging and social media services such as WhatsApp, Twitter, and Facebook; and audio and visual tools.  \n• Safety refers to the skills and awareness required to use digital tools carefully while navigating potential harms and cyber threats successfully. This pillar includes, but is not limited to, strategies for strengthening cyber hygiene,2 countering mis- and disinformation, and protecting children and youth from digital harm.  \nDIGITAL LITERACY  \nThe ability to access, manage, understand, integrate, communicate, evaluate, and create information safely and appropriately through digital devices and networked technologies.  \n| |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| | \u003Cbr> SAFETY\u003Cbr>The skills and awareness required to use digital tools carefully while navigating potential harms and cyber |  |\n\n1 Unless otherwise cited, all information in this sectoral brief comes from USAID’s Digital Literacy Primer.

These practices are often part of a routine to ensure the safety of identity and other details that could be stolen or corrupted.  \nTo effectively and equitably achieve digital access for beneficiaries, USAID’s approach to digital programming must extend beyond the establishment of digital infrastructure and acquisition of Internet-enabled devices to ensure that users possess a nuanced set of skills to meaningfully, responsibly, and safely participate in their digital ecosystems. As explained in the Digital Literacy Primer, USAID takes two primary approaches for incorporating digital literacy into program design:  \nFOUNDATIONAL ACTIVITIES  \nFoundational digital literacy activities build digital literacy skills applicable to all aspects of users’ economic, social, and personal lives—agoal in and of itself.  \nTACTICAL ACTIVITIES  \nTactical digital literacy activities prepare target populations to use digital tools in particular sectors to ensure that a specific digital intervention is effective (though digital literacy may not be the singular goal of the activity) .  \nDigital Literacy in USAID","cbCaigMPtxwrPJuZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigMPtxwrPJuZ","pdf",830948,"English","# Definition of Digital Literacy\n## USAID’s Digital Literacy Framework\n# Foundational vs. Tactical Activities\n## Digital Literacy in USAID’s Education Portfolio\n## Primary and Secondary School Students\n## Higher Education Learners","[{\"question\":\"How does USAID define digital literacy in the education context?\",\"answer\":\"USAID defines digital literacy as the ability to access, manage, understand, integrate, communicate, evaluate, and create information safely and appropriately through digital devices and networked technologies for participation in economic, social, and political life.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the two pillars of USAID’s digital literacy framework?\",\"answer\":\"USAID’s framework is underpinned by capacity and safety.
