Why a Network Approach?
A network approach offers the ability to achieve impact through collective action by harnessing the capacities of members. The Digital Opportunity Network℠ creates opportunities for a diversity of actors to work together to eliminate the technology gap. Feedback from Digitunity’s community verifies that the need for devices and support, and the myriad challenges that go along with that, are significant issues for practitioners and communities.
The Power of a Network
The Digital Opportunity Network℠ works to create the channels and pathways to achieve digital equity in device access and related areas by coordinating and attracting actors of all sizes to do more together. Digitunity is its steward. The Network harnesses the influence, voices, and capacities of members to contribute to the network’s shared purpose of eliminating the technology gap.
