Although Cyprus made progress in almost all 2024 Digital Decade report indicators compared to 2023, half the population still lacks at least a basic level of digital skills. With a drop from 50.2% in 2023, to 49.5% in 2024, Cyprus scores below EU average (55.6%) measuring basic digital skills. But the results for ICT specialists in employment with 5.4% comparing to 4.6% in 2023 shows a very strong dynamic, exceeding the expectations and the EU average (4.8%).

The Cyprus Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition aims to bridge the digital divide and promote digital literacy. State strategies include the 'Digital Strategy for Cyprus (2020-2025)' and the 'Digital Skills - National Action Plan 2021-2025'. These plans focus on e-government, digital economy, connectivity, digital skills development, and security. 

National initiatives, supported by the Recovery and Resilience Plan, include investments in communication infrastructure, digital public services, digital education, and upskilling and reskilling programs. The plan also promotes e-government, the establishment of an Intelligent Transport System, and initiatives to integrate digital technologies into schools through programs like Innovative Schools and eSafe Schools.
