APCs strength lies in the fact that they dont get excited about the internet for the internets sake.
They are committed activists who want to use it to make the world a better place.
They help people get access to the internet where there is none or it is unaffordable, They help grassroots groups use the technology to develop their communities and further their rights, and They work to make sure that government policies related to information and communication serve the best interests of the general population, especially people living in developing countries.

All people have easy and affordable access to a free and open internet to improve their lives and create a more just world.
APCs mission is to empower and support organisations, social movements and individuals in and through the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to build strategic communities and initiatives for the purpose of making meaningful contributions to equitable human development, social justice, participatory political processes and environmental sustainability.
APC is both a network and an organisation. APC members are groups working in their own countries to advance the same mission as APC.
In December 2008, APC had 52 members in 37 countries, the majority from developing countries.
