Digital Impact
Human centered technology, which is developed with the users, creates lasting changes. This is SPIDER’s impact on the world.
The SPIDER secret to impact
SPIDER is focused on results that transform societies. We engage and mobilise actors beyond boundaries and across divides, guided by the Sustainable Development Goals. We manage development investments for funders who want to have lasting impact in societies.
The secret ingredient in our work is research and evidence gathering and building of solutions that enable communities to act on challenges. In short, we make sure there is knowledge on what is needed to reach to outcomes we wish to achieve.
Local leadership, equity and diversity opens up possibilities that create, transparency, trust and common understanding of the benefits that digitalisation brings, but also how to work for digitally connected and inclusive communities and economies.

SPIDER works with all levels and sections of community but what really drives us is the delivery of digital services to community level to enable equitable access that will lead to tangible results.
Combating bias with inclusion
The digital world is often a reflection of the physical one and therefore bias, prejudice and exclusion must be actively challenged with inclusive digitalisation.
Policies that open doors
