ITvism as it stands today offers the full range of multimedia creative productions to deliver messages, influence behaviors, and advance social change. This includes strategic media planning, campaign design and execution, web development, graphic design, social media optimization, media relations and outreach, event planning and execution, and related services.
ITvism capitalizes on open-source software and crowdsourcing tools that place powerful, low-cost technologies within the reach of NGOs to support citizen-driven content and the integration of offline and online events.
As general goal, the purpose of ITvism is to promote the use of Information Technology (IT) in the civil society sector and support civic activism through digital platforms.

One of our main goals is to be actively connected to other CSOs, provide them with our IT and multimedia expertise. Our contribution to the network may vary from ideas and experience exchange to coalitions and partnerships in projects.
We strongly believe in Networking and we have been hearing of ALF and its networks for so long, which indicates that the most needed components of networking is present, which is sustainability.
We consider ourselves w young and nascent CSO and we will definetely benefit if we get involved with like-minded ngos and networks, not to mention establishing a connection with ALF itsef.
