About OneWorld South Asia (OWSA)

OneWorld South Asia (OWSA) is the south Asian centre of the OneWorld International Foundation and uses ICTs for promoting sustainable development and human rights in south Asia. OWSA sees itself as a civil society network that is engaged in the realization of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Towards the realisation of these goals, OWSA has identified priorities on::

• Using new media tools for voicing the voiceless.
• Capacity building and strengthening civil society organisations through the use of ICTs.
• Building ICT capacity among grassroots communities and people.
• Advocating for people friendly ICT policies.
  

With a strong network of more than 800 civil society organisations as partners, OWSA works symbiotically to achieve these objectives through three major programme interventions: ’voicing the voiceless’ through grassroots communications; channelising information and knowledge for developmental efforts through new media technologies; enhancing partners’ capacity to communicate and advocate for inclusive and pro-poor ICT policies..
