Research and advocacy on public policies and technology
We promote discussions on democracy and the digitalization of citizenship in Latin America, as well as discovering opportunities for digital transformation.
Why Civic Compass?
We believe the future of technology should be oriented to citizens as users and consumers of the Internet.
The rise of major platforms, coupled with the digitalization of governments and civil society, call for a diverse conversation about how technological innovations impact the public interes.
For this reason, Civic House has created a research and advocacy program on public policies and technology.
Our commitment is to cultivate awareness and fostering engagement in Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico. We aim to empower a wider spectrum of social contributors, enabling them to influence the formulation of policies and laws shaped by the dynamic evolution and utilization of the Internet.
Our Core Focus Areas
01
RESEARCH
The rise of major platforms, coupled with the digitalization of governments and civil society, requires evidence for a diverse conversation about the impacts of technological innovations for public interest.
We are dedicated to exploring and analyzing the expanding digital impact on citizenship.
02
ADVOCACY TRAINING
Nonprofit organizations play a crucial role in creating positive societal impacts. However, in Latin America, they often lack the resources and influence that the private sector enjoys, which limits their involvement in policy formulation. This is why we are committed to enhancing their influence and impact.
In 2023 we launched our advocacy training program for civil society organizations in Argentina, Colombia and Mexico.
Is an Impact Strategies Bootcamp aimed at NGOs who look at scaling their advocacy impact through the use of technology.

Online security and rights protection
In 2023, children's rights organizations requested our support to organize a series of comprehensive debates aimed at improving the standards of digital services related to children in Argentina, particularly from the perspectives of privacy and freedom of expression. As an integral part of this initiative, Leanda Barrington-Leach, Director of 5Rights Foundation, was invited to share her knowledge and experience on privacy and mitigating harm to children in the digital realm.
