About Us

Our Mission:

The mission of the Digital Opportunity Channel is to educate and inform a global audience on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) as mediums for promoting digital opportunities and inclusion, leading to sustainable development and a better quality of life for all.

ICTs can be powerful instruments of social change - helping developing economies and communities, enabling them with information and access, and supporting them to especially leapfrog development obstacles.

Digital Opportunity Channel seeks to be the online forum that will best inform Governments, businesses and civil society stakeholders on bringing about a development process through ICTs. The channel sees itself serving as a tool for organisations and individuals working in this sector.

Our Commitment:

On its global portal, Digital Opportunity Channel is committed to highlighting the current trends in ICT for development, debating issues such as the digital divide and the efforts to tackle it, showcasing best practices, and providing shared spaces for interested practitioners to network with one another, collaborate on common projects and campaign for common goals.

Digital Opportunity Channel envisions itself working pro-actively and in close collaboration with international organisations, NGOs, governments, businesses and others in the movement of utilising the full potential of ICT for promoting sustainable development and safeguarding human rights.
