S8 E3: The Future is Now

Season 8 · Episode 3

Thursday, September 29, 2022 • Duration 47:18

 The Principles for Digital Development were created over a decade ago as international development and humanitarian practitioners began integrating accessible digital technology in programming. And while the Digital Principles didn't quite revolutionize the field, their establishment created a common language and vision around how to institutionalize lessons learned. That was in 2016. Fast forward and a lot has changed: digital technology is accessible, commonly adopted into programming, and we are witnessing new kinds of technology emerging that have incredible potential to both help and harm economies, societies, and the way we work and live. In this mini-season, we will look ahead to explore the new challenges that come with new technology and see how global actors and the Digital Principles themselves can evolve to ensure that technology benefits all.

S7 E3: Data Without Borders

Season 7 · Episode 3

Tuesday, May 31, 2022 • Duration 46:11

The Digital Principle "Reuse and Improve" is often applied to data: by leveraging existing information, we can drastically reduce operating costs and quickly improve services and systems. On a national level, opening data flows can impact economies by increasing trade volume and productivity while reducing prices for industries that increasingly rely on data. Thus, for any nation participating in the global economy, effective and clear policy on cross-border data flows is necessary. But as we know, there are legitimate concerns around risks to human rights and citizen safety. In this episode, Angelina Fisher (NYU School of Law), Tom Orrell (DataReady), and Chris Calabrese (Microsoft) compare their industry's innovative approaches to governing the surge in data and designing robust policies that retain a fine balance between the benefits and risks of data flows and governance.

S7 E2: Addressing the Cyber in Security

Season 7 · Episode 2

Monday, May 16, 2022 • Duration 38:15

In this episode, Claudine Lim sits with Melissa Hathaway and Francesca Spidalieri to discuss key takeaways for development and humanitarian practitioners to consider from their recent report "Integrating Cyber Capacity into the Digital Development Agenda." Mark Manantan (Resident Vasey Fellow, Pacific Forum) joins the conversation to share cyber strategies, challenges, and breakthroughs in the Indo-Pacific.

Season 6 · Episode 3

Friday, February 18, 2022 • Duration 58:19

When it comes to "openness" in digital development, one of the most important things to remember, and one of the easiest to forget, is why we're doing this work in the first place.
