This primer is a reference tool for the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID’s) personnel and its partners interested in developing and implementing civic education programs. Significant developments in digital technologies over the past few decades have affected both how citizens interact with states and how civic education can be taught. Therefore, this primer also explores the opportunities and challenges for civic education brought about by technology. USAID and its partners can use the primer to build a common understanding and definition of civic education in different contexts.
