Digital Health and Rights Project: Final Evaluation Project

The Digital Health and Rights Project (DHRP) is a consortium launched in 2019. The consortium has conducted research, advocacy and education activities with young adults and civil society in several countries with support from Foundation Botnar, Open Society University Network, and University of Warwick. From 2023 to 2026, the consortium held a larger-scale transnational participatory action research project (T-PAR) in Colombia, Ghana, Kenya, and Vietnam, titled The Future of Human Rights in the Digital Age, funded by Fondation Botnar. The grant was hosted by the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies (CIM) at the University of Warwick (UK), and governed collaboratively with KELIN (Kenya), STOPAIDS (UK), the Global Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+), Restless Development, Privacy International, and Universidad de los Andes (Colombia), as well as Community Advisory Team (CAT) representatives from each study country. It was implemented with support from Foundation Karisma (Colombia), the Ghana Network of Persons living with HIV (NAP+ Ghana), Vietnam Network of People Living with HIV (VNP+). The Future of Human Rights in the Digital Age sought to generate community-led evidence on the digital health and rights of young adults living with HIV and other marginalised populations, and to translate that evidence into national and global advocacy. This evaluation, conducted by Matahari Global Solutions between February and April 2026, applied the OECD-DAC criteria of relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability to assess the project’s design, implementation and outcomes across all four countries and globally.
