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
