Digital Security Framework for Human Rights Programming

There is no universal means to assess digital security needs, implement digital security supports, or measure digital security interventions since any approach is highly contextual. This reference offers a logical framework for digital security support. It is intended for use by democracy, human rights, and governance implementing partners to assist in the design, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of digital security activities with human rights organizations (HRO), including civil society organizations or media outlets that focus on human rights issues.

This Digital Security Framework was developed by Freedom House and Internews as part of the USAID-funded Human Rights Support Mechanism (HRSM).
