Thus, as we have already seen during the last few decades, they make significant social change possible. Nevertheless, they also have the destructive potential to undermine participatory processes, re-enforce exclusion, disempower those affected by poverty, and produce results with little relevance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In our blog, we want to explore the correlation of digitalization and development by contrasting <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">new and traditional forms of communication for development<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, focusing on both the opportunities and challenges the application of digital tools and methods represent.
