What can a digital community bring to CSOs implementing programmes?

Digital communities have the following value propositions. 

• Provide the ability to implement programmes via the digital space
• Mitigate risk: Increasing resilience and sustainability
• Awareness raising and campaigning
• Scale reach and engagement
• Deliver access to information
• Reaching specific groups (essential way to reach young people; new ways of connecting dispersed populations; people with less of a voice)
• Access intelligence of many
• User generated data can be used as evidence for advocacy
• Raise funds
• Increasing legitimacy of the organisation
