Global Information Society Watch (GISWatch) is a collaborative community committed to building an open, inclusive and sustainable information society, composed by people from the APC network and its partners. They publish annual reports and special thematic reports, which looks at the progress being made in creating an inclusive information society worldwide, surveying the state of information and communications technology (ICT) policy at the local and global levels, encourages critical debate and strengthens networking and advocacy for a just, inclusive information society. Each year the report focuses on a particular theme. Strawberrynet contributed with the Romanian Country Report to the 2007‑2017, 2020 editions, and with the Europe Regional Report to the 2010 edition.  [more]

As a network promoting local community sustainable development, promoting the development and use of ICTs has been always closely linked with issues related to environmental sustainability. In 2008 APC members started a new APC-wide GreeningIT initiative that aims to address two critical challenges:

• How do national ICT policy environments address ICTs, environmental sustainability and climate change?
• How can ICTs be used more sustainably by ICTD practitioners, civil society organisations and service providers?

APC is undertaking action research, at national level, to address both of these questions, which aims to generate better understanding of the challenges facing us. Strawberrynet joined actively the GreeningIT APC research network.

StrawberryNet (Romania) supported other Romanian NGOs working on climate change issues by designing and hosting their websites for them and providing them with information management services. Most active amongst these NGOs were Terra Mileniul III and ALMA-RO. StrawberryNet hosted the website “Young Ambassadors against Climate Change” contest. StrawberryNet also hosted the website of the Climate Action Network – Romania RAC-RO, until it was active.  [more]
