<![CDATA[This community outreach program was initiated in response to the limited digital competenceobserved among female household heads, aiming to strengthen their digital capabilities as a meansof supporting family economic independence in Baktijaya Sub-district, Depok. Given that today'seconomy is increasingly driven by technology, mastery of digital tools has become an essentialrequirement rather than an option. To meet this need, the implementation team developed aninteractive, practice-based training program and used pre- and post-training questionnaires to measure its effectiveness. The program involved twenty participants, most of whom were ofproductive age (31–45 years), had completed education ranging from senior high school toassociate degree level, were married with children, and worked either as homemakers orindependent business operators. Quantitatively, participants' average scores rose markedly, from65.6 percent prior to the training to a complete 100 percent afterward. The most notableimprovement was recorded in participants' understanding of online marketplace platforms, withnine additional participants demonstrating mastery, followed by WhatsApp Business, where eightmore participants gained proficiency. Qualitative observations further revealed a shift inparticipants' perception of digital technology, moving away from viewing it merely asentertainment toward recognizing its strategic role in strengthening household economic resilience.Overall, the outreach activity proved effective in enhancing digital literacy while simultaneouslypaving the way toward greater economic independence for women serving as heads of households.]]>
