Innovation for Change (I4C) is a global network of people and organisations who connect, partner, and learn together to defend and strengthen civic space and overcome restrictions to our fundamental freedoms of assembly, association, and expression. We are a community-led network inspired by ideas, methods, and technologies from across different sectors. We work together on advocacy, research, network building, training, digital literacy, and technology development. Our seven regional hubs bring people together to exchange ideas and share their successes, challenges, and opportunities to incubate social change and build sustainable solutions. I4C was codesigned in 2016, in response to shrinking civic space and growing restrictions against civic freedoms, and a need for regional linkages between civic actors in open, closing, and closed spaces. The complexity and scale of this challenge called for a different, more inclusive approach to problem-solving and a focus on innovation. Since 2016 we have engaged with +30,000 community members by creating local, national, regional and global spaces for collective action to solve civic rights issues using innovation, technology and human-centered methodologies.
