About the project

In recent years, digital transformation has reached every sector of the economy. NGOs, as key actors in the social field for the European Union 🇪🇺, and a vital part of the Europe 2020 strategy, cannot be left behind in this matter. Digital transformation implies greater efficiency in the structure, processes, and results of organizations. We can highlight some of the improvements that digital transformation entails: Greater access to human, technical and monetary resources & greater impact of the results of the organization's projects.

We will create a toolkit ⚒️ which we will bring digitization closer to NGOs and their workers, divided into 4 dimensions: web design🎨, content creation🤳, internal management💻, and visibility and impact🌍.
