This paper discusses the role of spatial data in digital solidarity projects, which refers to a novel use of digital technologies by individuals and NGOs to support each other and collaborate, especially during crises. With ongoing challenges that might be recognised as one polycentric structural global crisis, digital solidarity has become increasingly important. Empowered by digital transformation, spatial data may play a vital role in these efforts. The paper examines the concept of digital solidarity in broad and narrow understanding, provides the EU and African examples of digital solidarity projects utilising spatial data and analyses the potential of the EU Data Spaces and African frameworks in supporting spatial data-driven digital solidarity projects.
