Evidence snapshot for Eswatini
Eswatini has deployed multiple digital and social interventions to address vulnerable populations and service gaps. The Universal Access Fund has distributed over 3,400 subsidised smartphones and specialised assistive devices to reach more than 14,000 elderly people and people with disabilities, though an affordability gap persists with only 58% of the population using the internet despite 95% 4G coverage. SWAGAA, a civil society organisation operating since 1990, recorded 1,172 gender-based violence cases between January and May 2024, though implementation of the 2018 Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Act remains underfunded and under-coordinated. Schools Online Foundation's Nomfundo AI teaching assistant has been deployed in eight schools since early 2024, though the rollout faces criticism from the teachers' union and lacks independent verification of reported improvements.
