The theories and the impact pathways will provide a complete framework to understand impact, how it creates value and how it can use data to improve the services we deliver to improve people’s lives around the world. (...) In support of the Global Initiative on Decent jobs for youth, ITU, as the UN leading agency in the ICT thematic area, jointly with ILO, launched the Digital Skills for Jobs Campaign aiming at incentivising stakeholders and training providers to equip 5 million young people with job-ready transferable digital skills by 2030. (...) These commitments are done from various stakeholders, from private and public including governments from Bangladesh, Malaysia, Myanmar, Pakistan and Thailand. Willing to provide concrete guidelines and support to this global effort, ITU also developed a Digital Skills Toolkit, a knowledge resource that provides policymakers and interested stakeholders with practical information, examples, and step-by-step guidance to develop national digital skills policies and strategies and thus ensure that young people, regardless their gender or ability are equipped with the necessary digital skills to be part of the digital economy.
