Global South Alliance – 2024 Report

The Global South Alliance was established in early 2023 following extensive discussions between Aapti Institute, Data Privacy Brasil, and Paradigm Initiative, who now form the Alliance’s Steering Committee. The Alliance also includes 10 member organizations from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, namely Asociación por los Derechos Civiles, Bolo Bhi, Center for Communication Governance, CIPESA, Derechos Digitales, Digital Rights Foundation, Internet Bolivia, KICTANet, Pollicy, and Research ICT Africa.

The Alliance was formed with the mission of unifying NGOs dedicated to the promotion of mutual learning and the advancement of digital rights with a perspective from the Global South. Based on meetings at the Data Privacy Global Conference, RightsCon and Internet Governance Forum, the organisations structured an alliance that aims to create bonds of solidarity and dialogue between organisations from the Global South (or Majority World). The goal is not to create a formal, registered coalition to represent the Global South, but rather promote a space for mutual strengthening, dialogue and listening between a small group of organizations.
