The Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, funded by the NextGenerationEU Funds of the European Union, aims to mitigate the economic and social impact caused by the outbreak of COVID-19, as well as support economic recovery. The measures that make up this plan will enable structural reforms in the coming years and will ensure that the recovery of the economy after the pandemic leaves no one behind.
The Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) is the core of the Recovery Fund, which finances investments and structural reforms for a greener, digital, more equal and cohesive future.
The Plan includes in Component 19 "National Digital Skills Plan", framed in the lever policy VII "Education and knowledge, continuous training and capacity development", various actions aimed at ensuring digital inclusion, advancing the development of basic skills of the citizens so that all people can take advantage of the social, economic and environmental opportunities offered by new technologies.
In Component 19, there is Investment Line 1 "Cross-cutting Digital Skills" and within it is Measure 3 consisting of "Citizen Training in Digital Skills". This Measure is linked to the achievement of objectives numbers 286 and 288. Objective number 286 stipulates that, regarding the funds allocated to this Measure, "at least 75% of the budget must have been committed to actions under the investment of citizen training in digital skills". The deadline for the achievement of this objective extends until the fourth quarter of 2023. Meanwhile, objective number 288 establishes that by June 30, 2026, Spain must have "2,600,000 citizens trained in digital skills, according to the actions of the measure".
Within this objective, the "Digital Skills for Childhood" (CODI) program aims to train 950,000 children and adolescents in vulnerable situations, offering basic digital skills training to children aged 9 to 13 years and adolescents aged 14 to 17 years, prioritizing those in situations of poverty, vulnerability, rural areas, with disabilities or formerly under guardianship. However, the programs will be open to the participation of any child or adolescent in the age range to ensure inclusivity and avoid stigmatization.
