Did you know that approximately 2.6 billion people remain unconnected to the internet, nearly all of which are in the least developed countries? To close this digital divide and build a future that benefits all, USAID has launched a new Digital Policy. The Digital Policy will prepare USAID and our partners around the world to adapt to rapid changes, adopt digital technologies responsibly, uphold democratic values, bolster information integrity and resilience, engage in strategic competition to counter authoritarianism, and decisively accelerate development progress and humanitarian response using digital technologies.

We are excited to announce the Cybersecurity Protection and Response (CPR) program, partnering with IBM to strengthen cybersecurity capabilities across the Europe and Eurasia region. This five-year initiative will empower host governments and critical infrastructure operators to effectively identify, respond to, and recover from cyberattacks. With the alarming increase in cyber threats targeting critical infrastructure and government networks in the region, this partnership aims to build the long-term cybersecurity resilience of partner nations. With IBM’s global expertise and innovative solutions, we are supporting development, strengthening governance, and addressing workforce challenges. Robust cybersecurity is essential to support modern development and humanitarian strategies that increasingly rely on digital technologies. Through this collaboration, we aim to ensure the safety and integrity of digital environments, ultimately enhancing development and humanitarian assistance outcomes. https://lnkd.in/ggd_vx-W #USAID #IBM #Cybersecurity #EuropeAndEurasia #DigitalSecurity

Since 2019, USAID and U.S. International Development Finance Corporation have closely collaborated to expand access to finance, unlock private sector investment, and scale development impact, with 100 transactions to date expected to mobilize over $4 billion in private capital towards development goals. USAID provides technical assistance, market knowledge, and catalytic funds to de-risk transactions in often challenging markets, while DFC provides the flexible financing tools to scale access to finance for underserved populations, small businesses, and catalyzing investment in developing markets. Looking ahead, USAID and DFC remain dedicated to expanding our collaborative efforts and to working together in new, creative ways to make even greater development impact in partnering on the next 100 transactions. https://lnkd.in/ez4v-dQa
