AidConnect Objectives

AidConnect is an interactive communication and information platform to strengthen private engagements for development co-operations. The focus is the worldwide linking of people who are involved or want to get involved in humanitarian projects. Organizers have the opportunity to promote their projects to a wide audience as well as exchanging their experiences with other groups and to inform them about the support they need for their project. Individuals and donors who would like to help will find a unique overview on local organizations and projects as well as useful information and ideas for projects.

People can learn in which initiatives they can participate or how to start their own humanitarian project. By direct communication exchanges among individuals there can be more successful projects started and completed through the mutual learning processes. The general population can become more conscience of the goals and conditions of developing countries through more transparent project details.

The platform should motivate people to go beyond donating and establish personal contacts and partnerships, so that the initial engagement grows into a lasting commitment.
