Zoellick gives a speech at George Washington University in which he sets out the need for a world 'beyond aid': "a global system that integrates developed and developing countries, innovation, private investment, and the 50 percent of the world's population too often kept behind -- women".

I have compiled a database of NGOs from the 2007 Council of NGOs directory. If this would be useful to anyone it is available at www.vanessaliston.com/docs.

It is done in MS Access and queries can be run on it using the SQL wizard - very easy. So if you are looking for a list of NGOs working in Education AND Health in Baringo district (for example) you might find this useful.

Maynooth group

Description: A group to connect scholars / practitioners in Maynooth

I can't say this is a 'mission statement', as such, but my initial sense of things is that there is scope to use this site as a way to connect scholars / practitioners working in Maynooth.

In the short-term, perhaps we could use this site to discuss the possibiity of coordinating on-campus actions (e.g. seminars, workshops, visiting speakers, films, etc.).

In the medium- to long-term, I suggest such a group could cement existing ties and create new ones with a view to actually coordinating such actions.
