Benetech is a non-profit organisation that empowers communities through software for social good.

We bring nearly two decades of experience building technology solutions for the world’s most pressing problems and implementing them on a global scale. Benetech’s Data for Inclusion platform will empower people with disabilities to share first-hand accounts about barriers to employment. It will provide localised content that informs individuals about their rights and entitlements, and includes tools for self-reporting, data management and analysis. This primary-source data will help to inform policy at the local, national, and global level.

We're involved in the consortium because…
