Econnect – Czech NGO presentation

The group of ecological organisations had been considering mutual co-operation and exchange of information since 1989 and finally turned to Econnect to fulfill their needs. From the very beginning Econnect wanted to cover all areas of the Czech and Slovak Republic and in order to do this it created a network consisting of ten organisations based in the big towns. The selected networking organisations were considered to be the most prominent supporters of the ecological movement at the time when many of the organisations had just been founded.

Connection to the Internet and access to electronic mail has been provided to Econnect since 1991. However, at that time the Internet had not yet been established as a major form of communication and ?as only one of several means of communicating. Within the last five years the Internet has become very popular and many tools for Internet communication have been quickly developed. Now the Internet is being used as the basic means for communication.

Meanwhile Econnect has become a very interesting source of up-to-date information from the non-profit sector. It is also a medium where non-profit organisations can present their work to the public. In 1991, Econnect became a member of the international community of internet providers bearing the name Association for Progressive Communications (APC). APC concentrates on work with non-profit organisations and civil action groups.
