This $2,100,000 Project Grant award from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) under the State Digital Equity Planning and Capacity Grant Program (CFDA 11.032) will support the implementation of the American Samoa Digital Equity Plan. Key activities include: conducting outreach on affordability programs, coordinating initiatives to address access gaps, supporting minority/women-owned businesses, developing career technical education curricula, strengthening disaster response and community resilience through broadband, promoting device recycling/refurbishing, and ensuring access to online privacy/cybersecurity resources. Expected outcomes include enhanced economic opportunity, a more robust business ecosystem, expanded career training, improved telehealth access, and better delivery of essential services for the residents of American Samoa, particularly unserved and underserved populations. The grant period runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029, and the American Samoa Government Department of Treasury will serve as the prime recipient, potentially subaward funds to implement the planned activities.
