DIGITAL ASIA ACCELERATOR

USAID’s Digital Asia Accelerator project (“the Accelerator”), managed by DAI, aims to increase the safe and appropriate use of digital technology for economic development in Southeast Asia and Mongolia. The Accelerator is part of a broader DAI-managed project, Digital Frontiers, which works​ ​closely​ ​with​ ​the​ ​U.S. Global​ ​Development​ ​Lab​,​ ​the Center​ ​for​ ​Digital​ ​Development,​ ​USAID​ ​missions,​ ​the​ ​private​ ​sector,​ ​and​ ​international​ ​and local​ ​development​ ​organizations​ ​to​ ​identify​ ​successful​ ​and​ ​sustainable​ ​digital​ ​approaches​ ​and scale​ ​their​ ​impact​ ​globally.

The Accelerator’s objectives are to:

1. Increase public awareness of digital safety issues to increase safe behavior online;
2. Improve digital skills of the private sector and civil society; and
3. Strengthen the ability of the private sector and civil society to engage on a range of digital economy and cybersecurity policy issues.
