Nonprofit organizations play an important role in promoting and supporting social causes that benefit ordinary people. In contrast to the private and the public sectors that have fully embraced the technological revolution, the nonprofit sector still lags behind in adopting and implementing tech solutions that could maximize their impact and their operational and technical efficiency. Such setbacks are often caused by a lack of funding, knowledge, or digital maturity.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted this serious issue making digital transformation a necessity rather than an option.
DevelopmentAid, in collaboration with the notorious civil society and IT development organizations, invites all parties to attend a thematic webinar entitled “Digital Transformation of Nonprofits: Opportunities and Risks” to learn how to build and implement effective transformation strategies and how to identify the appropriate digital solutions to use.
