Community-based organizations are expanding digital literacy programs in rural and underserved regions to address the widening digital divide. With increasing digitization of government services and financial systems, access to digital skills is becoming critical for civic participation. Programs focus on basic cybersecurity awareness, online misinformation identification, and responsible AI usage. Trainers report that misinformation, particularly AI-generated content, has become a growing concern during election cycles. Observers note that strengthening digital literacy at the grassroots level may help counter misinformation and improve democratic participation. International development agencies have begun supporting local initiatives that combine digital education with civic awareness. The long-term challenge remains infrastructure inequality, as many regions still face unreliable internet connectivity. Civil society actors argue that inclusive digital ecosystems require both technical infrastructure and community-based education.
