The Mandate the Future project is an attempt by Worldview International Foundation to unify net-based communication technologies with more traditional development work. The project is composed of a growing network of websites which we collectively call the MtFNet.
The Mandate the Future (MtF) is a Worldview International Foundation project designed to harness the power of the internet and the digital medium to the advantage of youth across the globe. MtF is a forum created and driven by youth. It gives them an opportunity to voice their views and concerns on issues that affect them the most. The project seeks to involve youth in the policy making process and be in-charge of their future.
The goal of this project is to be one of the most influential youth Internet forum on global issues.
MtF through its strong network base, both online as well as at the grassroots level, thrives to advocate youth concerns to the agenda setters via its user-friendly web structure.
The Mandate Network
The network consists of three websites and the grassroots partners of the Worldview International Foundation.
(a) www.mandatethefuture.org is the nodal site of the network
(b) www.ctrlaltesc.org is the interactive site where short articles are posted
(c) www.mandatemagazine.org is the site where issues are analysed and discussed to enable readers to make an informed judgement.
(d) WIF Partners: Are the organisations working with the WIF on the Participatory Communication for Democracy and Sustainable Development (PCDSD) project at the grassroots level.
Today, within a short span of just four months MtF has on average visitors from at least 65 countries every month. There are more than 650 registered members and 45 affiliate members. Apart from this MtF through its grass roots partners has more than 20, 000 off line youth membership. These members support MtF initiatives both off line as well as online.
