From the draft New Hampshire Digital Equity Plan
Empower New Hampshire residents to thrive by enabling access to resources, skills, and other supports needed to participate in today’s digital world.
This vision has informed each stage of the planning process. Consistent with the Digital Equity Act, attention is placed on the five key digital equity objectives and metrics and works to align with existing statewide and regional infrastructure, initiatives, and strategies to address opportunities and outcomes in economic, educational, health, civic engagement, and other essential services.
As many states’ plans have done, the digital equity metrics in this plan also address multilingual tech and digital navigator support, and the need to address not only digital literacy and cybersafety skills, but also media literacy, information literacy, and AI skills, along with financial literacy skills, given the connection with bank Community Reinvestment and other financial inclusion advocates.
The plan lays out strategies for fostering and assessing impact regarding the five digital equity objectives and metrics.
