"Bridges.org is an international organization with a mission to promote the effective use of information and communications technology (ICT) in the developing world for meaningful purposes, such as better healthcare, education and self-sustaining economic development. We seek to bring a practical vision to the realities of ICT-enabled socio-economic development, and an important aspect of our strategy is to apply basic business principles and processes in development projects. We conduct technology research, evaluations and policy analysis to inform civil society organizations, governments, development aid agencies and the business community and help them improve the way they integrate ICT into their activities. This in turn brings the benefits of technology to more people — students, small business owners, doctors and their patients and the general public — in more meaningful ways: not only to overcome the challenges and adversities they face, but to give them the tools to build their own solutions and manage their own affairs in more efficient ways."
Among the projects thay sponsor is CIPESA.
