The Global Development Commons
The Global Development Commons (GDC) is the space where development actors unite — physically and virtually — to gather and exchange ideas and services, communicate and form partnerships. The GDC unites all those with a stake in development — from end-users/beneficiaries to governments, to partners, to citizens — into a seamless and accessible world wide web, both real and virtual, making it easier for developing countries and their citizens to find solutions and resources that match their development needs.
