This set of materials is aimed at helping African civil society activists and organisations to get online and to integrate the Internet into their organisations. Kabissa designed these materials to help organisations that focus on human rights, freedom of information, responsive government, and democratisation. The materials will be useful to any nonprofit organisation seeking to make more effective use of the Internet.

The materials follow Kabissa's methodology of going through four steps of connecting to and taking advantage of the benefits of the Internet: connecting, accessing, interacting and advocating.

Topics include:

• Why Get Online?
• Connecting to the Internet
• Accessing Information Resources
• Interacting Online
• Establishing and Maintaining a Web Site
• Next Steps - Integrating the Internet into Your Organisation

The materials contain new information on protecting your organisations from spam and scams, more robust instructions on establishing and maintaining a Web site, and new online resources for African civil society.
