About DTCs
Background
copied from: https://academy.itu.int/main-activities/digital-transformation-centres-initiative
The Digital Transformation Centres Initiative was launched by ITU in partnership with Cisco in September 2019 during ITU Telecom World held in Budapest, Hungary. The initiative seeks to create a global network of centres, whose main purpose is to develop digital skills mainly at basic and intermediate level for citizens. The initiative contributes to the broader goal of building an inclusive digital society, and ensuring that lack of knowledge and skills is not a barrier to participation in the digital economy.
