Dgroups Foundation

Dgroups started in 2002 as a project of Bellanet/IDRC (Canada) in collaboration with the UK Department for International Development (DFID), the Institute for Connectivity in the Americas (ICA), the International Institute for Communication and Development (IICD), OneWorld, the Joint UN Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA).

Under the tagline ‘development through dialogue’ it sought to enhance online collaboration and interaction by bringing people together around a technical platform and associated supporting activities. In 2009, the Dgroups Foundation was established to provide an institutional framework to engage dozens of partners in these activities.
