Arid Lands Information Network-EAstern Africa (ALIN-EA) is a Kenya-based organisation that seeks to exchange ideas and experiences among "grassroots change agents". It sees its goal as enabling such grassroot change agents to learn from one another, through capacity-building and what it terms the "innovative use of ICTs (information and communication technologies)."
