He highlighted the challenges that small farmers face in accessing and sharing information and data. Our Deputy Director of Field and Impact Programs, Stephanie Siy was featured on the “Programming Digital Solutions for Localized Development” panel of leaders focused on developing trustworthy localization strategies. And just announced! NetHope, in partnership with Catholic Relief Services, Oxfam, Helvetas USA, Mercy Corps, Christian Aid, SOS Children's Villages International, International Rescue Committee, and exchange.design has published the brand new Digital Development Guidebook! The goal of this guidebook is to help organizational leaders reflect on how to digitally transform their programming and support pro-poor, and inclusive digital development in partner countries, in effective and responsible ways. In the words of co-author, Nora Lindström, Senior Director of ICT4D, Catholic Relief Services “Our new common challenge is no longer advocating for technology integration into programs—this is already happening—but re-envisioning our collective value around local leadership, open solutions, and digital skills and rights.” Download the guide here: https://nethope.org/DDG #ICT4D2024 #DigitalSkills #Humanitarian #Localization #NetHope #WeAreNetHope #CollectiveAction #DigitalDivides #climate #ClimateIntersections #ClimateResilience CC: Jerry Montgomery
