Bridging the Digital Divide: Ya-Rona Digital Ambassadors’ Programme in South Africa

The digital divide in South Africa is not just limited to physical access to technology but also includes digital skills and literacy.

The Challenge of the Digital Divide

The digital transformation taking place worldwide affects all aspects of life, and the digital divide threatens to leave millions of South Africans behind.

Addressing the Challenges Faced by Older Adults

The digital divide directly impacts various generations, with older people facing unique challenges due to limited exposure to technology and age-related barriers.

The Ya-Rona Digital Ambassadors’ Programme

The Ya-Rona Digital Ambassadors’ Programme is designed to enhance digital literacy and inclusion across various age groups and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Tailored Digital Skills Training

The program aims to reduce the digital divide in South African communities by providing digital skills training, focusing on locally relevant digital content and services.

The Psychological, Economic, and Social Benefits

The Ya-Rona programme offers beneficiaries psychological, economic, and social benefits.

Enhancing Employment Prospects

The Digital Ambassadors initiative not only improves digital skills but also enhances the employment prospects of beneficiaries.

Progressing to Higher-End Digital Skills

As the digital world continues to expand and evolve, higher-end digital skills are increasingly in demand. NEMISA offers various free courses in these areas, providing a stepping stone for beneficiaries to progress.

The Ya-Rona Digital Ambassadors’ Programme is a vital initiative in bridging the digital divide in South Africa.
