Our Impact
At Digital Frontiers, we are an organisation driven by our purpose towards impact. We believe that our success is measured by the tangible and positive changes we bring about in individuals, organisations, and even entire countries. Our comprehensive capacity-building programmes and services are meticulously designed to ensure that impact is not just a possibility, but a guaranteed outcome of our work.
We are committed to empowering individuals to rise in their careers and become catalysts for change. Through our programmes, we equip them with the necessary skills, knowledge, and support to unlock their full potential. We firmly believe that when individuals thrive, they can make a profound difference in their communities and beyond.
To gauge our impact as a capacity building institution, we employ rigorous monitoring and evaluation practices. Our approach includes robust quantitative and qualitative data analytics through the analysis of survey data, in-person interviews and focus groups with alumni, employers, and influential figures from various sectors, including development and the public sectors. Through these exercises, we gain valuable insights that help us refine our programmes and services, ensuring they continue to make a meaningful difference. At Digital Frontiers, we are dedicated to transforming lives, organisations, and societies

Communities of Practice
Our Communities of Practice are a core element of our capacity building programmes. We maintain several professional Communities of Practice (CoPs) across the globe where our students meet face-to-face regularly to discuss industry-wide innovations and challenges and how these play out in their local market context. They have the opportunity to engage with their peers and foster communication, cooperation, knowledge sharing, and innovation. Our CoP’s play a crucial role in us achieving our purpose.
