Towards an Enabling Digital Environment for Civil Society - Short Version

The purpose of this report, “Towards an enabling digital environment for civil society”, is to highlight the impacts of digitalisation experienced by our civil society members; to explore risks and important opportunities; and to advocate for an inclusive, human-rights-based and democratic form of digitalisation that will empower and enable rather than restrict and repress.

Prioritizing the Capacity Building of Civil Society for effective SDG implementation

An analysis of the 2020 VNRs to assess government action on SDG 17.

Forus and TechSoup are launching a collective campaign with partners and allies to collect ideas and spark debates about digitalization. We want to bring the contributions of civil society organisations and activists to the decision-making table, by collecting opinions & ideas and sharing  positive and challenging stories on digitalization! Over the next months, we will share podcasts, visuals, publications and articles on how civic space, gender and innovation connect with digitalization processes around the globe. Do you have a publication or activity to promote? Ideas on how civil society can take part in digitalization processes? Explore the campaign here
