Measures to improve digital inclusion

Programmes to improve digital inclusion

Going digital is an important area of focus for government. By means of different programmes, the government is working towards a society in which everyone remains included. The table below shows the most important programmes. This is an overview of November 2018.

Costs of the Digital Inclusion Programme

In the Digital Inclusion Programme, we work together with other ministries and public-sector bodies such as municipalities and provinces. The programme consists of activities from the entire public sector, as well as activities from a particular public sector such as healthcare or education.

The activities from a sector are paid for with money from ministries and other government departments. BZK pays the costs of activities from the entire government. The costs of these ‘general activities’ for all Dutch people, together with an estimate of the amount of the costs, are shown below.
