We take this opportunity to thank our friends and colleagues who share our values and support our work on the innovative and effective use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to promote socio-economic change in the global South. With significant local, national and global recognition, IT for Change is now entering a new institutional phase. We embrace the challenge to mobilise energies and act strategically at the national and global level in the areas of research, advocacy and field projects and to respond positively and maturely to the trust that organisations and social movements have placed in us.
