About the campaign
Today about 200 of UNI’s affiliated unions are still offline! Much of UNI Online's work is concentrated in Africa where only half of affiliates are online. But also in the other regions many affiliates are still offline.

UNI Online is a contribution to bridging the digital divide and about connecting unions to the Internet and e-mail and turning UNI into a global online organisation with as many affiliates as possible being connected. That’s the ambitious target set to implement the decision of UNI’s first World Congress, held in Berlin in September 2001.
The Internet and e-mail are powerful tools for global union work, sharing information, international solidarity and crucial in developing online networking between UNI affiliates. The success of UNI's Strategic Objective No. 6 depends on affiliates’ commitment towards the aims and requirements of the objectives. 

Your union can make a difference!
We need your help to get as many unions as possible online by 2005. Can your union:

Our strategies
The strategic approach of UNI Online and its implementation is based on previous experience from donation of IT equipment, Internet connections and software training courses. This experience serves as a base for the continued work that will be made possible through financial assistance, donations of equipment and IT skills’ training. Unions’ connectivity is analysed on a regular basis to identify unions not yet connected to the virtual union network. These unions may need assistance in securing telecommunication resources, computer equipment, installation costs and/or with IT training.  
UNI Online is expanding and now comprises support projects, such as software development, with
UNIconnect, the membership database programme; simple web presence, with UNI Bridge; IT skills’ training with e-learning and new project ideas, such as advanced web presence, including web applications and advice for e-unions. 
Getting Online lays the foundation to the UNI Bridge, which is a collaborative project with unions "lending" a Webmaster to help other unions launch their own websites.
