UNDP-organized Policy Lab at the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine is looking for strategic methods to tackle the challenge of low digital literacy among the elderly population. We are looking for policy-based large-scale programmes, however, also interested in small successful interventions. Among the questions of the research are whether analysed programmes have the potential to reach out to the various vulnerable groups, for example, those in the distant areas and with low income. Volunteers will work independently, but with our supervision through the virtual sessions. They will receive a detailed briefing on the assignment and will be able to maintain close contact with the Policy Lab.
