Context

Since October 2022 Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation, UNDP, the government of Sweden and the Ukrainian Library Association have converted public libraries and community spaces into free walk-in Digital Education Hubs where citizens learn government e-services, disinformation awareness and basic computer skills on the Diia.Osvita platform.

Results

The network grew from just over 3,000 sites in 12 regions to roughly 5,000 hubs in 22 regions by 2024; in 2024 alone hub staff helped more than 25,000 citizens complete courses. A UNDP participant survey found the share reporting below-average digital skills fell from 43.3% before training to 9.7% after; national skills figures rely on self-assessment rather than independent testing.
