Digital Freedom Initiative (DFI)
The President's Digital Freedom Initiative (DFI) aims to harness the strengths of the US public and private sectors to help the developing world utilize
information and communication technologies (ICTs) to resolve development challenges. The initiative involves multiple federal agencies, the private sector,
non-profit organizations and universities.
History
The DFI was launched on March 4, 2003 at the White House, where the Governments of Senegal and the United States agreed to pilot it. Since 2003 the Initiative has grown to encompass programs in many countries using ICTs to help spur economic growth and policy reform. The DFI approach leverages the leadership of the US government with both the creativity and resources of American business and the vision and energy of local partners throughout the developing world.
