Digital transformation in the development sector

A mindset shift is needed to achieve success.

Today, non-profits must navigate an increasingly digital environment to continue to solve complex challenges, deliver services and protect people. To ensure success, investment in digital transformation must go beyond technology adoption and deeper into the fabric of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) enabling people and organizational change.

Adopting this change will allow NGOs to more effectively help communities in low- and middle-income countries grow and thrive.
