Conclusion
Digital skills are now a prerequisite for anyone in any country to participate meaningfully in the growing digital economy and society. This toolkit has aimed to equip policymakers and other stakeholders with practical guidance for developing a digital skills strategy tailored to individual country needs. While there is no one-size-fits-all strategy – each country has unique strengths and goals – there are a number of promising approaches that have proved their worth in many contexts, offering every country a range of models to explore and adapt. It is hoped that the tools are useful in sparking discussions leading to concrete steps through new policies and programmes.
