"We are excited for Facebook to launch its We Think Digital Program in Mongolia today. Mongolia has prioritized digital transformation this year, and this implementation is much time as the government sought to foster digital literacy in its education system. We extend our sincerest appreciation to Facebook for this imperative investment for our people. I am confident that we will continue collaborating with Facebook in many other ways to support Mongolia’s economic and social development."
Mr. L. Oyun-Erdene

"The National Commission for Women has been constantly working towards creating digital leadership among women. However, we do feel that it is not the responsibility of a single entity. It is important for all stakeholders to come together. For example -- we partnered with Facebook on implementing 'We Think Digital', a global literacy programme that aims at creating awareness among women and girls about digital security and imparts them training on keeping themselves safe online. The project, which was launched in 2019 has trained more than 1,60,000 women since 2019."
Mrs. Rekha Sharma
Chairperson of National Commission for Women
“We and Facebook share a vision of ensuring all of Thailand can participate in the country’s transformation to a digital society, which will foster creative development - and the overall economy. Facebook’s collaboration with government agencies, academics, and civil societies from all four regions of Thailand means We Think Digital will properly support Thais from all areas - helping all people benefit from the digital world regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation, physical ability, or social status.”
Mr. Newin Chochaiyathip
Vice Minister for Digital Economy and Society, Ministry of Digital Economy and Society
“Programs like We Think Digital that keep pace with increasing online participation and the way we consume, create or share content are important to the promotion of astute and responsible digital citizenship and online safety in Singapore and across the region. This is a positive initiative from Facebook.”
Mr. Lock Wai Han
Chairman of Singapore’s Media Literacy Council
