About The Project

On its 25th anniversary, Digital Divide Data partnered with Solutions Insights Lab to help capture DDD’s journey. In collaboration with local journalists from Cambodia, Laos, and Kenya, the Lab conducted more than 50 interviews with alumni, staff, and leadership to learn their stories and insights.

Mining these rich interviews, social scientists at Solutions Insights Lab searched for patterns and surprises. Through a process called thematic coding, they captured insights about DDD past, present, and future that could be both meaningful and usable.

Highlights include how DDD shifts the way young people think about themselves and worklife, the ways DDD has responded to changes in the tech sector, and the importance of leadership expertise, and adaptability.
Digital Divide Data envisions a world in which youth develop themselves through education and employment. Our mission is to transform lives around the world through sustainable training and employment programs which provide a path to lifelong employment and opportunity.

Support the work.
An initiative of the Solutions Journalism Network, Solutions Insights Lab is a targeted research and analysis service focused on identifying and interrogating what’s working and what’s not in a particular sector or field. The Lab combines the investigative power of journalism with the research discipline of social science to map systemic challenges.
