Description

Digital inclusion is a key government priority, as access to digital technologies supports social participation, economic opportunity and wellbeing. The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology launched the Digital Inclusion Innovation Fund to address gaps in evidence and practice, supporting projects that test innovative approaches and identify best practice for scaling across England.



The evaluation of the Fund will provide independent, robust evidence on how the Digital Inclusion Innovation Fund has been designed, delivered and implemented, as well as its outcomes and value for money. It will examine the effectiveness of the Digital Inclusion Innovation Fund in achieving its objectives, the impacts of different project types, and the benefits for priority demographic groups. The evaluation will also explore lessons for programme improvement and inform future policy and funding decisions.



The evaluation is central to understanding what works, for whom and under what circumstances in digital inclusion interventions, and will guide the Department in supporting effective and sustainable initiatives in communities across England.
