Executive Summary
This proposal aims to investigate how technology can serve as a transformative tool for poverty alleviation by bridging the digital divide. Access to technology, including internet connectivity, digital literacy, and technological skills, has become increasingly essential for economic empowerment and social inclusion.
By exploring the impact of technology on poverty reduction, this study seeks to identify effective strategies and policy recommendations to ensure equitable access to digital resources for disadvantaged populations. The research will involve a comprehensive analysis of current initiatives, barriers to access, and successful implementations to inform future interventions.
Introduction
The digital divide refers to the gap between those who have access to modern information and communication technologies (ICTs) and those who do not, often exacerbating existing inequalities, including poverty. Technology has the potential to provide marginalized communities with access to education, employment opportunities, healthcare services, and financial inclusion, thereby contributing to poverty alleviation.
This proposal outlines a study to explore how leveraging technology can effectively bridge the digital divide and empower individuals and communities economically.
