ComCom Trains 300 Locals in Zugdidi and Abasha in Digital Literacy

As part of the Digital Support Programme, the Communications Commission held 25 seminars and trained over 300 locals in the municipalities of Zugdidi and Abasha in digital literacy and safe use of the internet. With the help of specialists, participants learned how to search for information, create and use e-mail, use Google Maps and Google Translator, share locations, use online communication tools and detect fake news. 

In addition, a meeting was held with local entrepreneurs, for whom it is critically important to possess basic digital skills. One of the priorities of the programme is to facilitate digital inclusivity, which involves participation of local women, ethnic minorities, disabled persons and persons with special needs in the programme. To this end, informational meetings were also held with beneficiaries from the Independent Centre of Zugdidi. 

Since 2022, more than 3500 citizens from 135 villages of the municipalities of Ozurgeti, Khelvachauri, Kobuleti, Chokhatauri, Samtredia, Ambrolauri and Oni have been trained as part of the Digital Support Programme in digital literacy, safe use of the internet and the use of state electronic services. The programme is currently being implemented in the municipalities of Zugdidi and Abasha. 

The Digital Support Programme is part of the Log-in Georgia project, which is co-funded by the World Bank and the European Investment Bank. It is being implemented to support the Georgian State Internetization Programme. The project aims to provide around 500,000 people in 1000 villages and rural settlements in Georgia with access to affordable high-quality internet services, as well as to help develop digital skills and facilitate the use of digital services.
