Overview

EduLinked’s Digital Inclusion Strategy service helps organisations build plans, capability and systems so digital inclusion becomes durable, measurable and cost-effective. We work from initial audits and pilots through to procurement and sustainment, always centring accessibility and community participation.

Who this is for

Local government, libraries, education providers, community organisations, health networks and funders seeking a practical plan to scale digital inclusion for residents, students and clients.

Services we deliver

  • Digital inclusion audit: participation, capability and access mapping with practical gaps and priorities.
  • Strategy & plan: community-aligned plans with اهداف (objectives), budget scope and KPIs.
  • Pilot design: local pilots (eg. device lending, training hubs) and recruitment of local hosts.
  • Procurement & sustainment: procurement specs, cost modelling and sustainment pathways.
  • Capability building: facilitator training, microcredentials and train-the-trainer models.
  • Evaluation & M&E: simple dashboards, impact metrics and reporting templates.

Our approach

We combine local engagement, practical pilots and procurement-ready outputs. Our process emphasises community leadership, sustainable funding models and capability-building so inclusion can be delivered reliably and at scale.

  • Community-led design: workshop with residents, partners and local services.
  • Pilot & iterate: short pilots with clear evaluation and replicate plans.
  • Procurement & sustain: tender-ready specs and long-term sustainment advice.
  • Measure & report: simple KPIs and dashboards to show impact and inform funding.

Get started

Typical pathway:

  1. Audit & engagement: a short audit and community workshop to set priorities.
  2. Pilot & evaluate: run a local pilot (device lending, training, digital hub).
  3. Scale & sustain: procurement, capability-building and handover for long-term impact.

Frequently asked

How long does a digital inclusion strategy take?
Typical timelines depend on scale: small locality audits and a short plan can be 6–8 weeks; full strategy and pilot programs often run over several months.
Do you run community pilots?
Yes — we design and run pilots such as device lending hubs, community training and local access points (e.g. Bellbowrie Connected).
Will you support procurement?
Yes — we provide procurement-ready specifications and sustainment guidance to help secure long-term funding and vendor partnerships.
