Bangladesh Digital Social Innovation Award 2021
  • June 1 - 2, 2021
  • Partially Funded
Digital social innovation brings together people and digital technologies to tackle social and environmental challenges.
Across the world, thousands of people, projects and organizations are using digital technologies to tackle social and environmental challenges in fields ranging from healthcare, education and employment to democratic participation, migration and the environment. These initiatives use a broad range of established and emerging technologies – including collaborative platforms, open data, citizen sensing, digital fabrication, open hardware, blockchain, machine learning, and augmented and virtual reality – to empower citizens to collaborate and deliver social impact. They have the potential to transform the way our public services operate, revitalize civic life and allow citizens to become direct participants in tackling social challenges.

This year’s celebrations come at a time when the whole world is fighting one common enemy, the COVID-19 pandemic in its full glare. Based on the world’s demographics, around half of the global population is under 30 years old today. These youth people are the most affected in the COVID-19 pandemic as they are the most active stakeholders in the society in terms of productivity, mobility, and interaction, so this COVID-19 crisis is disruptive in terms of their lifestyle and prospects for their future. But challenging times require challenging measures. This crisis situation has also opened up numerous windows of opportunity for the youth to find alternative means in response to the COVID-19, especially for the more vulnerable communities and stakeholders in the society.
