Web Networks/ APC
The Internet explosion is taking place primarily in the North. In the rest of the world, the focus of information technology development is primarily concentrated in large urban centres, and this effort is being driven almost exclusively by commercial interests preoccupied with the latest fads and high-end applications. These factors combine to impede the efforts of NGOs in developing countries to make productive use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in their work. In partnership with the member networks of the Association for Progressive Communications (APC), NGOs in developing countries have been able to devise successful online communications strategies that overcome these obstacles.
