Association for Progressive Communications (APC)

Communications and information policy programme (cipp). In 2022 the cipp programme implemented work that enabled digital inclusion for the most vulnerable (community networks); regional internet governance and human rights work in asia.

The women's rights programme (wrp) is both a programme within apc and a network throughout the world committed to using technology for women's empowerment. We promote gender equality in the design, implementation, access and use of information and communication technologies (icts) and in the policy decisions and frameworks that regulate them.

The local access programme works for people affected by exclusion, discrimination and inequality to be able to meaningfully use and shape the internet and digital technologies to meet their specific needs.
