In the era of ubiquitous technology, it\u2019s paramount that civil society also work to address societal issues, as they converge with the digital world. Building capacity at the intersection of technology and society will help ensure the relevance and sustainability of these institutions.<\/p>\n The Ford Foundation and Mozilla are partnering to strengthen organizations in the Global South by layering technology strategies into their work. This will help create a \u2018third space\u2019 where key civil society organizations and tech-focused individuals address issues at the intersection of technology and society. This will also seek to address the political element of technology \u2014 that technology as a neutral tool is affected by its creators and their biases. Benefits, harms and side effects come from how systems are designed, what data is selected to train them and what business rules they are given.<\/p>\n We envision that, in 10 years, this collaborative \u2018third space\u2019 will flourish in the Global South in which civil society organizations demonstrate strong capacity to address major issues at the nexus of social justice and technology. These organizations will leverage technology to promote these issues while preventing or mitigating their risks.<\/p>\n At the program level, Ford and Mozilla will place senior technology strategists as Fellows within select organizations and coalitions that are foundational to the strength and capacity of regional civil society.<\/p>\n Fellows will help increase the impact of the organization\u2019s work by supporting them to recognize, design, and implement a strategy that accounts for the impact of technology on the organization\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n Requirements:<\/p>\n In addition to the criteria above, candidates for the Tech + Society Fellowship will: Full Application \u25cf You must submit your application using the application form on Mozilla\u2019s Fluxx portal How to Apply The application for a Mozilla Fellowship is a two part process: 1) registration and 2) full application.
