Digital Resilience Network

The Digital Resilience Network is a Ford Foundation initiative supporting 10 Global South-led organizations across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Its goal is to help civil society organizations in these regions better navigate technology — defending against surveillance, censorship, and misinformation — while building local technical capacities and infrastructure.

Overview

Worked across a ten-organization Global South network to surface shared challenges and build collective capacity. Led facilitation and co-creation processes that helped member organizations — spanning Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East — identify common opportunities and align on priorities. Conducted internal assessments covering organizational capabilities, security posture, technology infrastructure, and operational processes. Translated findings into actionable project development and roadmaps, bridging the gap between frontline civil society needs and technical execution.
