EDEN: NYC Digital Equity Index and Provider Accreditation

By Anita Balaraman, Laura Ellena, Quaseer Mujawar, Aaron Ogle, and Miro RabVass

This policy brief proposes that New York City implement a rigorous and holistic summary of digital equity indicators – the Expanding Digital Equity in NYC (EDEN) Index – to evaluate progress toward equitable broadband access. The EDEN Index seeks to both enable the City to consistently assess provider performance and to accredit exemplary providers as “digital equity champions.”

This brief was completed as part of a project for the 2021 Tech Executive Leadership Initiative (TELI), hosted in conjunction with the Tech Talent Project.
