Zambia Digital Rights Landscape Report
Year: 2021
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: This report introduces findings from ten digital rights landscape country reports on Zambia. They analyse how the openings and closings of online civic space affect citizens’ digital rights. They show that: (1) when civic space closes offline citizens often respond by opening civic space online; (2) when civic space opens online governments often take measures to close online space; and (3) the resulting reduction in digital rights makes it impossible to achieve the kind of inclusive governance defined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
