The Digital Transformation Centres (DTC) Initiative was launched by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in partnership with Cisco in September 2019 during ITU Telecom World held in Budapest, Hungary. Through this Initiative, ITU will work with a global network of institutions to develop digital skills for citizens mainly at basic and intermediate level. The Initiative is part of a broader goal of building an inclusive digital society where lack of digital skills should not be a barrier to participation in the digital economy.
