Financiadores iniciales desde 1993 hasta 2002

We especially wish to recognise those funders that were early supporters of our work – IDRC, The Ford Foundation, Open Society Institute, Canadian International Development Assistance (CIDA) and The MacArthur Foundation. We value their commitment and the risks they took in supporting the growth and diversification of our fledgling network and continued to support us into the new century.

International Development Research Centre (IDRC)

IDRC was one of our earliest supporters, providing funds needed to launch the APC Women’s Networking Support Programme (APC WNSP) activities around the world during the lead-up to the 1995 UN World Conference on Women (UNWCW). IDRC also provided support to some of the earliest work promoting connectivity through a network of store-and-forward notes in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe. IDRC has continued to support initiatives of the APC WNSP, as well as the development of our ‘Mission-Driven Business Planning Toolkit’. IDRC also provided start-up support to our internet rights work through the Global ICT Policy Monitor project, with a focus on activities in Latin America and Africa. In addition, APC’s Betinho Communications Prize to recognise socially meaningful uses of the internet was funded by IDRC for the first two years and partial support for the APC Africa Hafkin Prize and, in 1995, for the APC Council Meeting in Brazil.

The Ford Foundation

With trends in donor funding shifting overwhelmingly towards project support and away from institutional support, APC is particularly appreciative of the programme support that the Ford Foundation provided from 1997 to 2002. The Ford Foundation also supported the APC Council Meeting in South Africa in 1997.

Open Society Institute (OSI)/Soros Foundation

OSI’s initial support for APC’s work was focused in Central and Eastern Europe with an emphasis on strengthening the capacity of APC members and partners in the region. OSI provided substantial support to the APC Toolkit project, which has produced the APC ActionApps. In 2000-1 OSI provided support for APC’s Internet Rights work in Europe. Throughout our relationship, OSI has played a key networking role by linking APC to related initiatives, and providing us with valuable critical input.

Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA)

CIDA supported APC’s work since the early days through a diversity of partnership projects with Web Networks, APC member in Canada – including cost-recovery systems for email management for emerging African networks; support of APC WNSP’s preparatory work for the 1995 UNWCW; and facilitation of NGO participation in the 1997 Global Knowledge conference in Toronto, Canada. In 2000 and 2001, CIDA supported the development of community radio exchange tools using APC’s ActionApps and Beijing+5 Section J activities to advocate for support of women’s use of ICTs.

The MacArthur Foundation

Like CIDA, the MacArthur Foundation supported APC’s early network development through a grant to IGC Networks in the United States, which enabled the set-up of grass-roots non-profit email providers throughout the Americas, the former Soviet Union, and Asia. MacArthur also made a substantial contribution to the development of APC’s ActionApps.

The World Bank

The World Bank Institute facilitated APC’s participation in the Global Knowledge II conference in 2000. The infoDev program of the World Bank is supporting APC’s Online Resource Centre , which is building an interactive, multilingual Web clearinghouse of internet training-related materials to support and promote strategic use of ICTs for development and social justice.

HIVOS (Humanist Institute for Development Co-operation)

HIVOS first provided support towards the activities of APC’s Africa Women’s Programme in preparing for Beijing+5, and are now supporting our Internet Rights work through the Global ICT Policy Monitor project, with a focus on activities in Latin America and Africa.

Rockefeller Foundation and Novib (Oxfam Netherlands)

Both foundations have contributed towards the activities of APC’s Africa Women’s Programme in preparing for Beijing+5.

EED – Evangelischen Entwicklungsdienst

EMW provided funding to train English and French-speaking African women in how to run internet-based solidarity campaigns.

Contribuciones no-financieras

Both Carnegie Mellon University and Global X Change provided APC with strategic planning consultants to work with us in the development of our Mission-Driven Business Planning Toolkit, funded by IDRC. http://www.globalx.com Lundeen & Associates provided us with multiple free copies of their “WebCrossing” software in the early stages of our APC ActionApps software development.

The Internet Society facilitated the participation of many APC member staff in ISOC Developing Country technical training workshops during the 1990s.
