CIVICUS is actively involved in the Digital Democracy Initiative (DDI), aiming to strengthen civil society and democracy in the digital era through two main streams: empowering local civil society in the Global South to utilize digital tools for inclusive democracy and defending civil society by advocating for rights-focused policies and improved security measures. CIVICUS and Global Focus collaborate within DDI to enable and amplify action for civic space and inclusive democracy. Their work includes enhancing support infrastructure for pro-democratic civil society, strengthening local organizations’ digital capacities, and facilitating knowledge-sharing among diverse civil society groups. By providing grants, tools, and technical assistance, they empower local actors to navigate digital challenges and promote inclusive democracy online and offline, fostering collective learning and innovation across regions.
