Digital literacy
Promoting digital literacy is a key strategy towards building resilience to information risks.
Digital literacy is a broad topic ranging from basic/foundational skills, like the ability to access the internet and search for content via an internet browser or apps, to more advanced digital skills like digital content creation, coding and data science.
Organisations working in forced displacement contexts must maintain their commitment to ‘do no harm’ principles, ensuring that forcibly displaced and stateless persons/people have the requisite skills and knowledge to minimise risks associated with technology including information risks.
