[Internews](https://internews.org/), [ICNL](https://www.icnl.org/) and [FHI 360](https://www.fhi360.org/) led the creation of CivicSpace.tech. CivicSpace.tech was created in 2020 based on research to identify knowledge gaps among development practitioners from CSOs and USAID concerning digital trends and threats being experienced around the world. It is intended to equip civil society, governmental and other actors with information they need to participate in decision-making conversations about technology in development programming and to protect their interests in the quickly changing digital landscape.
