How NGOs can use Social Media

Social media is a great tool that civil society organizations can use to communicate with their audience, market their services, connect with their networks or improve the way they work and promote their social development agenda. The key features of social media are participation and interaction, connecting people and providing the tools necessary to have a conversation - all important components of NGOs’ day-to-day work. Farra Trompeter will deliver a workshop that looks at how the strategic use of social media helps civil society organizations reach new people, adds value to mission-driven work, supports goals to build a movement around a core advocacy issue, improves customer service or programmes, reaches new donors, and raises awareness of a nonprofit brand around the world.
