About
What is Dgroups?
Dgroups is an online home for groups and communities interested in international development.
In Dgroups, one can find the online tools and services needed to support the activities of a team, a group, a network, a partnership or a community.
Dgroups is also a place to find groups who are interested in the same topics in international development as you.
Who is Dgroups?
The organizations behind Dgroups have formed the Dgroups Partnership. Current partners include Bellanet, DFID, Hivos, ICA, ICCO, IICD, OneWorld, UNAIDS and WorldBank. Member organizations include CGIAR, CIDA, CTA, Danida, FAO, IDRC, INASP, KIT, SNV, Sida, SDC, and UNECA. The system is currently hosted by Bellanet on behalf of the partnership, but the Dgroups brand belongs to all partners equally. Thinking of joining Dgroups as a member or a partner?
Why Dgroups?
There are an ever increasing number of development organisations that want to have online groups or communities. Instead of creating separate solutions, why not come together and support a platform not just for each other, but for the entire development community?
The partners see support for Dgroups as a way to provide such a platform, while at the same time to provide a valuable service to their respective stakeholders and networks, and an easy way for individuals to find the groups and communities of interest to them.
Why create something new? Because until today, the partners know of no comparable service which is as simple, non-commercial (no ads), respectful of privacy, and targeted at low bandwidth users in the South.
