Organizations
We will work with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other organizations to enable them to use the Internet as a tool for their activities. SIDSnet can provide exposure through our newswire and tools to enable better use of the Internet. We will also use direct references to relevant organizations focused on specific activities which require global consensus/attention.

Preparation of Events
The build up to critical SIDS conferences requires effective communications to ensure that islands can focus on common issues. These pages will provide focused forums, relevant contacts from each region and and other tools to assist with ensuring consensus on a common SIDS agenda!
