The press release highlights the launch of the Connectivity Needs and Usage Assessment (CoNUA) report by the Government of Ethiopia’s Refugees and Returnees Service (RRS) and UNHCR, with support from the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The report reveals significant barriers to digital inclusion for over 1.1 million refugees in Ethiopia, including affordability, infrastructure gaps, and gender disparities in smartphone ownership. This initiative aims to integrate refugees into Ethiopia’s national digital agenda and mobilize partners to close the digital divide.
