GOAL

This brief outlines a GOAL, Niger study attempting to verify the relationship between the use of the digital platforms and users’ socio-demographic  characteristics in its programming. The study aims to test the hypothesis that  age and gender are associated with platform usage. The digital platform in  question is VIAMO. 

Results show a strong association between gender, age, and platform utilisation  with younger age groups and males showing a stronger usage of the platform. The brief recommends that while digital media is getting increased attention  and investment, it is important to better understand who is and who is not benefitting from modern technologies and tailor their roll out according to gaps identified.
