# Digital development (BeDigital) In execution ## Preview ### Donor(s) - Luxembourg ### Implementation period 27.03.2024 - 26.03.2027 ### Total duration 36 months The digital development programme (BeDigital) aims to increase access to information and communication technologies to help reduce poverty among the people of Benin. The BeDigital programme is part of the government's digital strategy, which positions digitisation as an important lever for accelerating economic growth, notably with the adoption of the national digital security strategy in 2020. The specific objective of the funding is to strengthen Benin's sustainable and inclusive digital transformation, within a secure cyberspace, by ensuring that services are accessible and adapted to as many people as possible, with a particular increase in digital uses in the inclusive and innovative finance and vocational training sectors – sectors in which Luxembourg Cooperation is also involved. The BeDigital programme is developed and implemented by LuxDev through delegations to national institutions, the most important of which is the Agence des systèmes d'information et du numérique, which steers the operational implementation of programmes and projects within the framework of strategies for the development of secure information systems and services in Benin. The Luxembourg funding is a donation of EUR 8,500,000 over a three-year period. ## Sustainable Development Goals - #### 01. End poverty - #### 04. Quality education - #### 05.
