The Knowledge Base for ICT Volunteers in Development and International Online Volunteers

This resource has been prepared specifically to help ICT Volunteers working in developing countries, particularly those working under the UNITeS umbrella; and online volunteers currently serving UNV-related projects, particularly those staffed by onsite volunteers under UNITeS. However, we hope that it will help in any ICT or online volunteering experience supporting international development. The material is based on feedback and contributions from many online volunteers and organizations, and new suggestions are always welcomed.

Most of the materials listed in this knowledge base reside on this UNITeS web site; other links, noted with this symbol,  , will take you to other organizations' web sites.

NOTE: these are merely suggestions, with no expressed or implied warranty, guarantee, or formal commercial endorsement. Please read carefully all manufacturers' materials regarding software before downloading any product. UNV, nor organizations being assisted by online volunteers, can be held responsible for problems on an online volunteer's computer that may arise from the volunteer downloading and using the materials referred to below.

If you want to volunteer online to support international development, please visit the UNV Online Volunteering service website.
