Scope of Work Research Support Specialist Digital Ecosystem Country Assessment (DECA) U.S. Department of State and USAID Armenia NAME: POSITION TITLE: Research Support Specialist TOTAL LEVEL OF EFFORT: 25 days AGREEMENT NAME: Digital Frontiers Activities Digital Strategy AGREEMENT NO: AID-OAA-A-17-00033 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: October 1 2023 – July 31 2024 EVALUATOR: Raiyan Kabir Summary Digital Frontiers is a $90 million buy-in mechanism available to USAID Bureaus and Missions from 2017-2024. DAI implements the Digital Frontiers project which works closely with USAID’s Development Democracy and Innovations (DDI) Bureau; the Technology Unit within the Innovations Technology and Research Hub (ITR/T); USAID missions; the private sector; civil society organizations; and international and local development organizations to identify successful and sustainable digital development approaches and scale their impact globally. USAID missions and other operating units can “buy-in” to Digital Frontiers and essentially fund the Digital Frontiers team to design and implement digital development projects. Digital Frontiers currently implements over 25 of these buy-in projects; each with a unique scope and client within USAID. Digital Frontiers has played a key role in supporting the development and launch of the Digital Strategy and will continue to play an integral role in the implementation of the Digital Strategy. With ITR/T leading the process Digital Frontiers will work closely with the ITR/T team to ensure a thorough thoughtful and consensus‐led process for the implementation of the various Digital Strategy initiatives. BACKGROUND The USAID Digital Strategy 2020–2024 charts an agency-wide vision for development and humanitarian assistance in the world’s rapidly evolving digital landscape. The Strategy’s goal is to achieve and sustain open secure and inclusive digital ecosystems that contribute to broad-based measurable development and humanitarian assistance outcomes in emerging market countries. USAID’s Digital Strategy has two core mutually reinforcing objectives: 1) improve measurable development and humanitarian assistance outcomes through the responsible use of digital technology in USAID’s programming and 2) strengthen the openness inclusiveness and security of country-level digital ecosystems. The DECA a flagship initiative of the Digital Strategy informs the development design and implementation of USAID’s strategies projects and activities. The DECA looks at three pillars of a nation’s digital ecosystem: (1) digital infrastructure and adoption; (2) digital society rights and governance; and (3) the digital economy. The DECA aims to inform how USAID Missions can understand work with and strengthen the country’s digital ecosystem. * Digital Infrastructure and Adoption (Pillar 1): Digital infrastructure and adoption refers to the resources that make digital systems possible and how individuals and organizations access and use these resources. Digital infrastructure includes geographic network coverage network performance internet bandwidth and spectrum allocation as well as telecom market dynamics around security interoperability and competitiveness. This pillar also examines behavioral social and physical barriers and opportunities for equitable adoption (digital divides affordability and digital literacy) — who uses and does not use digital technologies and why. * Digital Society Rights and Governance (Pillar 2): Digital society rights and governance focuses on how digital technology intersects with government civil society and the media. This pillar is divided into three sub-sections: Internet Freedom; Civil Society and Media; and Digital Government. Internet Freedom explores factors that enable or constrain the exercise of human rights and fundamental freedoms online. This includes individual rights to freedom of speech privacy and free assembly and the abuse of these rights through digital repression. Civil Society and Media identifies key institutions and how they report on advocate around and influence online freedoms. Digital Government looks at the government’s efforts to manage internal IT processes and systems deliver citizen- and business-facing e-services and engage with the public through digital channels. * Digital Economy (Pillar 3): Digital economy explores the role digital technology plays in increasing economic opportunity and efficiency trade and competitiveness and global economic integration. Areas of inquiry include digital financial services (credit or debit cards payment apps mobile money and digital savings and loan products) financial inclusion regulation of digital finance digital trade e-commerce and the financial technology (FinTech) enabling environment. This pillar also assesses strengths and weaknesses in the local digital talent pool and the tech startup environment; a healthy digital economy requires a supply of ICT skills that matches the demand and an ecosystem that promotes technological innovation. Note that the following topics are cross-cutting and affect all three pillars in a DECA: * Inclusion : Equal access to opportunities and resources for people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized. This topic goes beyond digital divides in connectivity access to include things like the unique impacts of digital repression on marginalized populations and barriers to full participation in the digital workforce. * Cybersecurity : How people systems and technology protect information kept in digital formats from being taken damaged modified or exploited. This topic also includes an exploration of cyber harms that exist in a country who is responsible for harms and who is targeted. * Emerging technologies : including artificial intelligence and machine learning Internet of Things drones robotics and blockchain. * Geopolitical positioning: How the country’s digital evolution is being shaped by international relationships particularly the global spread of technology-enabled authoritarianism.

Digital Frontiers is providing support to this team during the first and second years for rollout activities including the development and piloting of the Digital Ecosystem Country Assessment (DECA).
