The information was revealed in the company's most recent report on the project, highlighting that the initiative has been of great relevance for digital inclusion in Angola, as it seeks to promote digital literacy and facilitate access to technology.
According to the document, the “Digital Citizen” project has had a positive impact on Angolans, especially in peripheral regions and rural areas, where access to the internet and digital services is limited.
It points out that it was launched with the aim of training the population in essential skills for digital life, such as the use of smartphones, access to online public service platforms, management of digital bank accounts, and the use of education and employment tools available on the internet.
