Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Digital Justice Development in South Dakota
The Grants for Digital Justice Development program in South Dakota is designed to enhance the accessibility of scholars to digital tools and technology, advancing research and initiatives aimed at addressing social justice concerns. The primary target outcomes of this grant program are closely tied to the state's unique characteristics and needs.
South Dakota's rural landscape and Native American reservations present distinct challenges in accessing digital resources. The state's frontier counties, with limited internet connectivity and infrastructure, require innovative solutions to bridge the digital divide. The South Dakota Governor's Office of Economic Development, in collaboration with regional bodies like the South Dakota Association of Regional Councils, is working to address these disparities.
One of the key priority outcomes is to increase the capacity of researchers and academic institutions in South Dakota to leverage digital resources effectively. This involves enhancing the accessibility of digital tools and technology, particularly in areas with limited infrastructure. By doing so, the grant aims to empower scholars to advance research and initiatives focused on social justice concerns, such as economic inequality, access to education, and healthcare disparities.
The grant program also prioritizes outcomes related to the development of digital justice initiatives that address the specific needs of Native American communities in South Dakota. The state's nine Native American reservations are home to a significant portion of the population, and digital justice initiatives can play a critical role in promoting economic development, education, and healthcare in these areas.
To achieve these target outcomes, the grant program will support projects that focus on building digital capacity, improving digital literacy, and developing innovative digital solutions to social justice concerns. The South Dakota Department of Education and the South Dakota Board of Regents are among the state agencies that will be involved in implementing and evaluating these projects.

The grant program will also focus on building partnerships between state agencies, regional bodies, and community organizations to ensure the long-term sustainability of digital justice initiatives. By working together, these stakeholders can leverage resources, expertise, and funding to create a more equitable and just digital landscape in South Dakota.
Evaluating Impact
The evaluation of the grant program's impact will be based on a comprehensive assessment of the progress made towards achieving the target outcomes. This will involve regular reporting from grantees, site visits, and evaluations conducted by independent third-party assessors.
The evaluation will also consider the broader context of digital justice in South Dakota, including the state's progress in addressing the digital divide, promoting digital literacy, and developing innovative digital solutions to social justice concerns.
