ArabDev welcomes active NGOs working for community and civil society development in Egypt or any other Arab country. Membership is based on an active and serious track record of community development activities. Each ArabDev NGO member is interested to learn and get assistance in information and communication technologies (ICTs) for community development from the project to serve its communities better and to add build its own organizational capacity.

To become an ArabDev member the NGO pledges to provide contributions. To date ArabDev members provided office space, computer hardware and software, in some instances whole computer labs and their staff as in-kind contribution to the project. ArabDev works closely with each NGO to assist it in their special ICT needs and demands. This work includes training for NGO staff members, collaborating in preparing workplans and proposals for developmental initiatives that use ICT as a tool.
