Achievement at a glance
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. To this end, we are organizing an Awareness Summit Bangladesh Digital Social Innovation Summit 2019 at the same time in two 5 sections where 5000 people from different professions are participating. There we highlight the importance of achieving sustainable development goals. Another 10 lakh people participated through live. Where we honor 32 organizations and individuals for their social innovation work. So that they can be more prosperous without sustainable development.Challenges faced in implementation
