ASEAN Digital Inclusion Fund Bridges the Connectivity Gap

A new fund will finance rural broadband, community digital hubs, and affordable devices in underserved provinces. The facility targets the connectivity gap that keeps millions of households outside the digital economy.

Grants favour projects that pair infrastructure with digital literacy training for women, older workers, and indigenous communities, advancing SDG 9 infrastructure goals and the SDG 10 push to reduce inequality. Recipients must publish coverage and affordability data.

• Rural broadband and community hubs funded
• Digital literacy tied to every infrastructure grant
• Coverage data published annually
