Nigeria tracks digital skills with new literacy dashboard
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Nigeria’s National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) began using a National Digital Literacy Dashboard to track digital skills training across the country.
The dashboard collects reports from 252 organisations and shows they have trained 2,769,512 people over the last three years. The dashboard covers all 774 local government areas and 14,664 communities in Nigeria, helping NITDA see where training is happening and where it is needed most.
Cisco reported the most training achievements with 1,073,604, followed by NITDA itself with 960,424 and Meta Platforms Inc. with 333,816. NITDA intends for the dashboard to reduce duplicated efforts and improve resource allocation as Nigeria works toward goals of 70% digital literacy by 2027 and 95% by 2030. The agency expects the platform to help them measure progress and coordinate the work of various digital development groups.
