Review

Digital futures for a post-pandemic world

"ICT policy issues were not a priority for our organization previously. Due to GISW we got involved in this areas and disseminate these ideas in the Romanian NGO and academic communities."
- Rozalia Klara Bako - StrawberryNet Foundation and Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania, Romania - GISWatch author
"I think GISWatch is valuable for researchers and activists to take a view of general global situation and compare the situation of each country."
- Byoung-il Oh, Korean Progressive Network Jinbonet, South Korea
"The project is a great source of knowledge on different country perspectives on similar themes. I rely on GISWatch for research that I do on gender issues as it provides research on topical issues.The report development process provides a structure that authors can follow but still allows them to be flexible in their write up."
- Chenai Chair, Research ICT Africa, South Africa - GISWatch author
