About ArabDev
The ArabDev foundation was formed by its member NGOs, in Egypt and the Arab region, to use information and communication technology (ICT) to promote existing development projects and for innovative developmental initiatives. ArabDev builds the ICT capacity of poor communities and local grassroots organizations to help them attain better work and life opportunities.
ArabDev is established on the principle that working with and through local NGOs, using their existing developmental capacities and established linkages with local communities, is the most effective way to disseminate and employ ICT. This collaborative approach is a cost effective way to build telecenters or establish ICT projects that stand alone without links to other developmental activities. ICT in this context becomes an additional input to help advance the existing developmental initiatives furthering progress in the region.
