Digital Literacy is a key element in the development of civilized communication in the digital era. The concept of digital literacy can be interpreted differently, but in general include many important skills needed in facing the fast development of information and communication technology in the digital society. More specifically, UNESCO defined digital literacy as the ability to access, manage, understand, integrate, communicate, evaluate and create information safely and appropriately through digital devices and networked technologies for participation in economic and social life. This definition suggests the importance of digital literacy in our daily life today. Many countries have developed specific initiatives to face the challenges of digital society. Digital literacy movement in Indonesia has been initiated in 2017 by the ministry of communication and information in cooperation with many elements of civil society. This initiative is a good start and should be followed by more systematic efforts to develop a comprehensive and measurable digital literacy framework to improve the quality of digital literacy in Indonesia. This paper asks the question of how digital literacy movement in Indonesia has contributed to the development of a systematic digital literacy framework which can be used as a guidance for the future development of digital literacy programs in Indonesia.
