Small-scale infrastructure projects implemented through a deep community engagement model can offer high impacts in marginalized communities that have historically been under-developed. In Honduras, factors such as high levels of gang violence, climate change impacts, lack of infrastructure, and persistently high poverty rates have contributed to the vulnerability of historically marginalized populations, including Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities. In response, under the USAID Technical Assistance Project for Economic Growth, we are working to harness Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting principles to advance equity for underserved racial and ethnic communities through an activity known as “Projects Executed by the Community” (PEC). The PEC activity promotes a bottom-up community engagement process where communities lead the development, implementation, and evaluation of inclusive action plans with public and private stakeholders. It empowers racial and ethnic groups to take on leadership roles while improving community assets such as schools, health centers, youth outreach centers, recreational spaces, and police stations.

Ghana, a pioneer of digital transformation in West Africa, has emerged as a regional leader through its government-wide services, programs, and legislation, all of which have strengthened its digital ecosystem. However, #Ghana still faces significant challenges in its digital development, such as insufficient funding to maintain infrastructure and connectivity, and varying levels of resources to build digital skills, and promotion on national digital literacy. USAID’s Ghana Digital Ecosystem Country Assessment highlights key findings and strategies for advancing the country’s digital transformation, including the development of government-wide network platforms, an inclusive approach to cybersecurity, and the ICT for Accelerated Development Policy. The report also provides recommendations, like enhancing Ghana's advanced #ICT workforce, expanding digital safety and computer science training in schools and universities, and improving stakeholder engagement in policy development. ➡ Read the DECA now! #economicdevelopment #digitaltransformation

Each country along the way offers its own distinct flavor and charm.
