APC’s Latest Annual Report: 2003 - The year technology policy became 
social policy

In spite of the wide range of activities that took place during last 
year, for APC, 2003 is memorable for one particular process that 
galvanised our efforts - the World Summit on the Information Society 
which took place in Geneva in December 2003. WSIS was a watershed in 
public participation as information and communications policy shifted 
from the obscure world of techno-jargon to be recognised as social 
policy that affects everyone. From APC's perspective as a network of 
‘social techies’ this was a major break-through.

APC’S latest annual report includes APC’s advocacy work for WSIS and 
other major highlights as well as achievements from APC members on five 
continents building of a better world for all through technology. Find 
out more about it or download the full report directly!
