The Impact of the Digital Alliance for NGOs via Digital Awareness Kiosks (Ethics Kiosks) Project: Towards Achieving Sustainable Development in Egyptian Society | Chapter 6 | Contemporary Research in Business, Management and Economics Vol. 6

 

The digital revolution has transformed the way we live, work, and play. Digital technologies have brought immense benefits to individuals, businesses, and society as a whole. Digitalization, which is the adoption of digital technologies, has had a significant impact on the operations and activities of non-profit organizations. This paper aims to examine the effects of digitalization on non-profit organizations in terms of their communication, fundraising, and service delivery. The study draws on a review of the existing literature and analysis of case studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of these impacts.

 

The findings indicate that digitizing non-profit organizations has had several positive impacts including significant improvements in communication, reaching wider audiences and effective engagement with stakeholders, providing new revenue generation channels, and connecting with donors. Digitalization has also facilitated the delivery of services and reached more people in need. The paper also discussed the positive contributions that digitization can make to sustainable development, including increased efficiency, reduced resource use, new business models, increased access to education and healthcare, and improved environmental management. However, the adoption of digital technologies has also created new challenges for non-profit organizations, including the need to invest in technology infrastructure and manage data security, and privacy issues. e-waste, the digital divide, and cybersecurity challenges.

 

This paper provides an overview of the impact of digitalization on sustainable development and concludes with some recommendations on how to maximize the positive impacts of digitalization while minimizing the negative impacts.

 

The ethics kiosk project (the digital alliance for civil society) won first place in the national initiative in the Suez Canal region for the category of non-profit projects, as it is the first ERP system that combines operational and development departments and works on the governance of donations in receiving and disbursing them. It is a technical version of an ethics kiosk project which has been discussed before in a different scientific paper (Elgammal, 2023). It is the first in the Arab world to take care of all developmental and charitable aspects within the framework of the governance of administrative and accounting operations. It was presented to the Prime Minister and the Ministers (the Minister of Planning, the Minister of Social Solidarity, and many others), also the Governors (the Governors of Ismailia, Suez, and the Governor of Port said).

The Hygiene Institute within the Sapienza University of Rome Campus: A Proposal for Energy and Environmental Refurbishment | Chapter 3 | Advances and Challenges in Science and Technology Vol. 8

 The following three aims have been recognized as the research's pilot aims, starting with the definition of tenable development determined by the 2030 Agenda and ultimate recent European exercise instruments, particularly the New Green Deal: Goal 13 "Climate Action" aims to increase the construction stock's resilience and changeability to climate-accompanying risks, Goal 7 "Affordable and Clean Energy" aims to increase the share of renewable energy and boost existent buildings' energy effectiveness, and Goal 6 "Clean Water and Sanitation" focuses on a sustainable administration of water resources and sciences for recycling and talk over again.  Particular attention was paid in the research to the strength and environmental remodeling, from a green perspective, of the "Sanarelli" Institute of Hygiene on the "Sapienza" University of Rome square. The structure was built in 1935, and after a number of alterations during the whole of the years, it immediately has a total volume of 37,700 m3 and a surface extent of 9,475 m2. The work has concentrated on the expression of particular targets with the greatest goal of the strength and environmental renewal intervention following in position or time a thorough analysis of the current situation using inspections, surveys, non-obtrusive investigations, and referring to practices or policies that do not negatively affect the environment assessments. A non-obtrusive approach for in situ surveys have existed conducted to gather facts on architectural and fundamental elements and on their state of preservation.  With reference to the 2030 Agenda, the objectives of the research have existed set, concerning: the improvement of within microclimatic comfort, the reduction of meteorological and water pollution in addition to CO2 emissions, the help of circular economy and the optimization of construction management. To reach these energetic objectives 7 plans have been traces on account of which it has been attainable to identify 9 mechanics solutions expected applied to the Institute. The design selections show a close synergy between alive and passive instruments that together help achieve a circular use of water money on site, accompanying systems for capturing and accumulating rainwater and doctoring wastewater, as well as serving to achieve a important improvement in the energy nature of the building. This bettering has been created possible not only by modernizing the construction envelope's properties and alive systems similarly current standards and custom, but also by close aid between alive and passive technological answers that has produced acceptable results in terms of threatening CO2 emissions.
