About
Welcome to the prototype Digital Inclusion map
The aim of the map is to give visibility to digital inclusion projects and resources in New Zealand and to
- make it easy for people to find digital inclusion projects and resources near them
- encourage greater take up of, and support for, digital inclusion initiatives
- encourage cooperation and knowledge sharing between projects.
We respect individual and organisational privacy; this is important to us. The map shows only information that is already publicly available, or have been provided by the organisation. When funds allow, we would like to give organisations editing access to their listing. Meanwhile, we promptly apply any changes sent to us – use the ‘corrections’ link on detail view of every listing to send changes or request removal of the listing.
This Digital Inclusion map prototype was piloted at the InternetNZ NetHui 2015 and is changing and growing with use and experience.
Functionality added since release
We’ve added the ability to:,
- subset by programme, organisation and audience, as well as resource type and region
- upload digital resources in bulk from a csv file (contact us to get the format/specification)
- include a digital map on your website – for example showing just your organisations resources and projects
Interested in supporting the Digital Inclusion map?
Funding for the inclusion map covered the development of the map prototype and some functional additions. It is maintained by voluntary effort and we would love your help to improve it. If you feel it is a useful and valuable New Zealand resource, please help by, for example,
- suggesting new resources (digitalinclusion.nz/suggest-a-new-resource)
- volunteer time (even if only a couple of hours) to seek out new resources, add them to the map and help keep information up to date
- using and giving feedback on its user interface
- funding improvements in the user interface to the map and further develop its functionality

Why is 20/20 leading a Digital Inclusion map?
Good information is key to tackling Digital Inclusion, one of 20/20’s strategic goals:
To ensure that every citizen is able to participate in New Zealand’s digital society, and that no-one is left behind – requiring a focus on disadvantaged groups.
underpinning our mission
New Zealanders fully participating in the digital world
This is very similar to part of the government’s digital economy strategy :
Ensuring New Zealanders can fully participate in a digital world to realise the educational, economic and social benefits of ICT.
The Digital Inclusion NZ map is a initiative of the 20/20 Trust. The Trust works for digital inclusion, managing and promoting digital literacy initiatives, and partnering organisations throughout New Zealand to deliver to their communities, test out innovative approaches and share ideas and experience.
