About the project
The Basic Digital Literacy for Learning Program is a digital literacy development program targeted at adolescent school girls aged between 13 and 18 years. With learning content drawn inclusively from Nigeria’s National Digital Literacy Framework (NDLF), we have created a globally adaptable knowledge framework content with contextually relevant learning content that can be rapidly deployed across 13 weeks with 13 distinctive learning sessions. They are one of the only organizations providing digital literacy curriculum that has been internally translated to Hausa language and externally validated for widespread adoption in Northern Nigeria.
