The Association for Progressive Communications (APC) |
 |
|
|
The Association for Progressive Communications (APC) is an international network of civil society organisations dedicated to empowering and supporting groups and individuals working for peace, human rights, development and protection of the environment, through the strategic use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), including the Internet. TECHNOLOGY: PRACTICE AND POLICY APC's members were often the first providers of Internet in their countries. Today, we continue to pioneer practical and relevant uses of ICTs for civil society, especially in developing countries. APC is an international facilitator of civil society's engagement with ICTs and related concerns, in both policy and practice. WORLD-WIDE MEMBERSHIP APC has been operating as an international, membership-based organisation since 1990. Our strong mixture of Southern and Northern organisations, and their combined knowledge and experience of promoting and using ICTs at local, national and regional levels, differentiates our network and our work from many others. APC's value and uniqueness comes from the local perspectives and contact with grassroots organisations that we gain through contact with, and between, our members. Our network of members includes organisations in Argentina, Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Ecuador, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kenya, Korea, Mexico, Nicaragua, Nigeria, the Philippines, Romania, Senegal, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Ukraine, UK, Uruguay, and the USA. GOVERNED BY OUR MEMBERS APC members define APC direction, policies and agendas. APC Council is the governing body that establishes APC's policy and work area priorities. Each APC member organisation appoints a representative to Council. Council meets regularly online, and periodically, APC Council members meet for a face-to-face conference in one of the member countries. Most of Council's formal decision-making takes place during these meetings. |
