    OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT 

    This project aims to develop and pilot a practical Digital Transformation Toolkit tailored to the needs of small and Medium Enterprises in Zimbabwe. Recognizing the role SMEs play in the economy, the project equips owners and their teams with essential skills and resources needed to thrive in the digital age. The toolkit will provide user-friendly, step-by-step guidance on core areas such as digital marketing, e-commerce, financial management, and cybersecurity, helping entrepreneurs effectively leverage digital technologies to grow and sustain their businesses. 

    WHY IS THE PROJECT IMPORTANT?

    In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the ability for businesses to effectively and safely navigate the online world is not just an advantage – it’s a necessity.  The importance of this initiative can be seen in several key areas: 

    A vital contribution of the program was its strong focus on safe Internet use, particularly Cybersecurity and Data Protection. The toolkit also provides digital marketing, branding, and digital financial management tools, all essential for driving the digital transformation of small businesses.  

    This training was timely, especially given ongoing national conversations around data protection, and helped SMEs understand their roles and responsibilities regarding data. Empowering SMEs with this knowledge allows them to protect their own businesses and customer information, contributing to a more secure digital environment for everyone. The knowledge gained can even be cascaded to their teams.  

    The creation of communities of practice through platforms like WhatsApp groups provides a space for continued learning, engagement, and peer support among participants, reinforcing the program’s impact beyond the initial training sessions. 

    The Internet is for Everyone

    The Internet Society Foundation supports the vision of the Internet Society and its work for an open, globally-connected, secure, and trustworthy Internet for everyone.
