"For nearly 50 years, USAID has been a leader in supporting digital transformation around the world. This Policy now sets the course for USAID to continue advancing development and humanitarian outcomes in an ever-accelerating digital age. The Agency will strive to improve our ability to meet the needs of our partner countries, transform USAID’s digital approach as technology continues to evolve, and protect the communities we serve from harm within these new and evolving contexts. To achieve the Digital Policy vision and goals, USAID is committed to fostering innovative and adaptive approaches to advance open, inclusive, secure, and rights-respecting digital ecosystems in the countries where we work, put people first and respect the human rights of the populations in the countries we work in, and strengthen local digital capacity, infrastructure, and partnerships. Through collaboration with our global partners, continual evolution of our current digital approach, and collective dedication to our mission and vision, we will contribute to a more inclusive digital world for all."
