Scaling Digital Development

DAI implements the $90 million USAID-funded Digital Frontiers project, which works closely with the development community to identify successful and sustainable digital development approaches and scale their impact globally.

About Digital Frontiers

Across the developing world, digital technologies are accelerating change at every level of society. The challenge is that, to date, these solutions have not matched the pace and scale of the problems they address.

Digital Frontiers is a buy-in mechanism available to Bureaus and Missions of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). We work closely with several Bureaus, particularly the USAID Development, Democracy, and Innovations Bureau (DDI) and the Innovation, Technology, and Research Hub (ITR); 35+ USAID Missions; the private sector; and international and local development organizations around the world.

Digital Frontiers works to advance the goals of USAID's Digital Strategy and helps USAID have greater impact across its development portfolio by advancing digital tools and approaches in the areas of digital finance, digital inclusion, cybersecurity, digital literacy, ICT policy, emerging technology, and digital agriculture.
