We gather evidence through digital inclusion research
We know what works for digital inclusion, and we research what we don’t. We partner with experts as well as conduct our research covering the wide-reaching barriers and effect of digital exclusion on people and our society. It allows us to make evidence-based decisions that inform our manifesto and strategy - so that we can advocate for digital inclusion.
