We are pleased to invite you the first of a series of webinars and face-to-face dialogs addressing the vital operational concerns and strategic uses of the Internet for non-profits and non-governmental organizations.
Civil Society and Non-Governmental Organizations are the Internet’s largest stakeholder group, and they are becoming increasingly dependent on how the Internet operates in order to carry out work in pursuit of their vision and Mission.
This regional Pathfinder webinars and dialogues series is designed to address vital operational concerns, explore challenges and present effective strategic uses of the Internet by Civil Society and NGO organizations.
