Digital Specialist

Project Background Across ASEAN, internet access and smartphone use have grown rapidly, especially among adolescents. After the pandemic, young people spent even more time online for school, socialising and entertainment. While digitalisation brings many benefits, it also exposes children to cyberbullying, harmful content, online exploitation and mental health risks. The challenges are significant across the region. In ASEAN, 80% of youth are online daily. In Indonesia, many teens struggle with low self-esteem and gadget dependence. Singaporean teens spend over 8 hours online each day, often using devices to cope with stress. Many children in Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines face cyber-violence, harmful online experiences, or online sexual exploitation. Excessive screen time, limited parental guidance and lack of school support are harming adolescent wellbeing. Region-wide action is urgently needed to build digital resilience among youth, caregivers and educators. Yayasan Plan International Indonesia, together with the ASEAN Foundation and local partners, aims to strengthen healthy digital habits and online safety. As the regional grantee for the Global Teen Digital Wellbeing Initiative, Plan International will deliver a culturally adapted curriculum through schools, workshops and community programs. The initiative will reach 11 million people across all ASEAN Member States, equipping young people and their support systems to use technology safely, creatively and confidently.
