This paper calls for a radical shift in mindset for a holistic people-centered approach to digital resilience, otherwise future crises could further intensify poverty, hunger, and inequalities, and could reach levels beyond our capacity to recover. This broadening of perspective requires engagement with the digital ecosystem, i.e., the stakeholders, systems, and enabling environments that together empower people and communities to use digital technology to pursue economic and social opportunities, while taking steps to reduce risks.
