In 2025, DT Institute partnered with local leaders and organizations to advance peacebuilding, accountability, civic participation, and access to information in some of the world's most complex environments. We supported locally led reconciliation and early warning systems in Sudan, advanced justice and accountability efforts in Yemen and Syria, helped millions access trusted information in Iran, and strengthened resilient communications networks in Myanmar. Together, these efforts demonstrate the impact of investing in local leadership, trusted partnerships, and innovative approaches to global challenges.

DT Institute is pleased to launch our 2025 Annual Report, highlighting how a strategic blend of locally led programming, independent media support, and targeted philanthropy advanced more open, informed, and peaceful societies.

DT Institute is responding to this critical moment by equipping communities with the tools, expertise, and flexible funding that they need to create innovative solutions to entrenched problems. Through a targeted portfolio of programs spanning Media Technology, Peacebuilding, and Human Rights, we work with civil society organizations (CSO s), governmental institutions, human rights defenders, and citizens who are on the front lines of the fight for enduring peace and democracy. In 2024, our efforts took on heightened significance against the backdrop of violent conflicts in Ukraine and Sudan, closing civic space in Serbia and Yemen, and continued repression of ethnic minorities and women in places like Iran and Myanmar.
