Digital Green

Digital Green uses an innovative digital platform for community engagement to improve livelihoods of rural communities across South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. The organization partners with local public, private and civil society organizations to share knowledge on improved agricultural practices, livelihoods, health, and nutrition, using locally produced videos and human mediated dissemination. In a controlled evaluation, the Digital Green approach was found to be 10 times more cost-effective and uptake of new practices seven times higher compared to traditional extension services. Till date, Digital Green has reached more than 600,000 rural community members across over 7,000 villages in nine states in India and parts of Ethiopia and Ghana. The organization has helped facilitate the production and dissemination of more than 3500 localized videos in 20 languages, all of which are available for viewing on its online video repository (//www.digitalgreen.org/discover/).
