APC's 2004-2008 strategic priorities were defined in late 2003 in Colombia, where APC members used their local knowledge of how civil society groups are using the internet for positive social change to assess the opportunities for APC to make a difference on how people use and think about the internet worldwide. What changes were brought about? No social change is the work of purely one organisation however in this period, we have worked to make sure policy makers increasingly see ICT policy as essential to development. As a consequence of our capacity-building work with hundreds of organisations, we helped transform how women's movements think about technology and the internet.
