AfrikLinks was founded in 2005 by a group of young ICT4D activists in Mali. It has quickly become a regional leader in the use of information and communication technologies for sustainable development, provide training, monitoring, and technical support services.  Since its inception, AfrikLinks has established AMTIC (Association Malienne pour la Promotion des TIC), the first association to dedicated to promoting the use of technology for development in Mali. They have also helped Mali's Community Learning and Information Centers (CLICs) — supported by USAID and Microsoft Unlimited Potential — to learn together and strengthen outreach to their communities. In December 2006, with support from telecentre.org, AfrikLinks created the Fédération des télécentres du Mali (FETEMA), which it supports through workshops, events, and a technical support helpdesk.
