Abstract:

Digital literacy and digital capability are the basic elements of digital transformation of government and important guarantees to promote Chinese modernization. The improvement of digital capability of grassroots cadres in  the northwest  ethnic areas is the key to boosting the construction of the Silk Road  Economic  Belt  and  promoting  the  inter-regional synergistic development of digital government. In the process of promoting the construction of digital government in the northwest areas，due to the limitations of digital resources and digital concepts，grass-roots cadres face real challenges in digital cognitive ability，digital application ability，digital service ability and digital synergy ability，which are not conducive to making full use of digital resources to establish scientific decision-making mechanisms and provide accurate and efficient services. Based on this，a multi-pronged approach can be adopted to construct a digital education framework，match digital elements input, enhance digital service capability and improve digital coordination systems，so as to provide digital talent guarantees for enhancing the effectiveness of digital government in the northwest areas，and promote the fine operation and high-quality development of digital government.

Key words: grassroots cadres, digital capability, digital government, high-quality development
