Promoting equity for the Global South on the open Internet
We serve underserved communities around the world to take control of their digital rights and become decision-makers in the design, release and governance of technologies.
Issues
Earlier advances in technology have delivered uneven benefits, exacerbating gaps between developed and low- and- middle-income regions, often resulting in unintended harms. We believe societies can only benefit from technologies, particularly the Internet, if they are inclusive and accessible, and underpinned in democratic values of right to information, privacy and transparency.
Research
We collaborate with experts to investigate systems, review legislations, engage stakeholders and develop inclusive policy solutions to address the most pressing technological issues and concerns facing underserved communities.
