Abstract
It provides an overview of the DSF, which is a logical framework for digital security support designed for democracy, human rights, and governance implementing partners. The framework aims to assist in the design, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of digital security activities with human rights organizations. The document outlines the three main types of digital security interventions (emergency, short-term, and long-term), the three core digital security outcomes (awareness, knowledge, and adoption), and the importance of measuring digital security outcomes. It also highlights common barriers to implementing digital security support activities and provides examples of activities, outputs, and outcomes for each type of intervention. The document is a collaborative effort between Freedom House and Internews, two organizations that work to promote democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression.
