Digital tools and platforms have become more accessible, affordable, and widely used, and this inevitably increases their role in international development. Donors and various aid organizations are already leveraging these tools to showcase their activities, raise awareness campaigns, and catalyze positive changes across borders. Could digital marketing be an asset beyond the private sector and contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals? Let’s see what DevelopmentAid experts have to say about this.
