Recognizing the essentiality and necessity of digital skills in our daily lives and businesses, the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC) and International Telecommunication Union (ITU) are to host the webinar dubbed “Towards the Development of National Digital Skills Strategies: Digital Skills Assessment Guidebook”.

The webinar is envisioned to engage stakeholders in the development of the National Digital Skills Strategies across the Europe Region, including the Western Balkans economies. It will build upon the ITU Digital Skills Assessment Guidebook, which is to be officially launched on 28 May 2020 and will provide tools for policy-makers and stakeholders in developing ideas adjusted to their specific economy or context while developing any strategic document to address digital skills.

The webinar will also provide an additional timely opportunity for the Western Balkan economies to discuss on the potentials for regional activities that may lead up to digital skills-related actions as part of the REA 2021-2024 agenda.

Webinar is organized within the framework of the Multi-stakeholder Working Group on Digital Skills and the ITU Regional Initiative for Europe on ‘Accessibility, affordability and skills development for all to ensure digital inclusion and sustainable development.
