Room 1 and 11: Partnerships

Problem Definition: Digital inclusion programs do not leverage partnerships with other organizations doing digital inclusion work

Why is this a problem:

  • It is difficult to assess the full ecosystem of digital inclusion organizations.
  • There is no guidance for the framework of potential partnership models.
  • Small/local/grassroots organizations don't have enough funding to partner with other organizations.

Flip the Context:

  • There is visibility into the full ecosystem of organizations doing digital inclusion work.
  • There are clear models for digital inclusion partnerships.
  • Funding sources are transparent and encourage partnerships.

Timed Prompts:

  • How might we create visibility into the ecosystem of organizations doing digital inclusion work?
  • How might we identify and/or communicate models for digital inclusion partnerships?
  • How might we make funding more transparent?
  • How might we encourage partnerships for digital inclusion?
