Accelerating digital transformation to strengthen community resilience in Micronesia

About the Project

The Smart Islands Project targets Micronesian countries to accelerate the adoption of digital transformation related enabling policies, legislation and strategies across various sectors, as well as by piloting a “smart islands” approach in at least five remote islands and villages in the Micronesian countries. The smart islands approach will accelerate digital transformation at the community level. The project seeks to make use of digital solutions to enhance early childhood development policy and strategy frameworks, nutrition and food-based diets, employment, shock responsive social protection and safety nets for children and vulnerable groups. One of the central expected outcomes will be improved coherence amongst digital policy, legislative and strategy frameworks supportive of cross-sectoral digital transformation. Digital access and literacy will be promoted in a safe and meaningful manner that improves the quality of life and livelihood.
