Sarah's blog experiment

I am using this blog as an experiment to document my experiences in the information-for-development area. It provides an informal record of my personal thoughts and opinions. The 'cast of characters' also occasionally includes: my daughter Leah, my son Sacha, and my partner, Edward.

Dutch expertise on development

The Development Policy Review Network (DPRN) has made an Inventory of expertise related to international cooperation in the Netherlands. It includes both institutions and individuals (academics, policymakers and researchers), and their expertise is related to the targets of the Millennium Development Goals. The Inventory is still being updated, and makes very interesting reading. I'm in there, together with some colleagues, but in a very strange place ---I'll need to do something about this.

Smart Toolkit now fulltext available

The Smart Toolkit is now available fulltext as a PDF for downloading on the LEAP IMPACT Dgroup, an online community. LEAP IMPACT has about 150 members from a wide range of different organizations, all of whom are interested in the evaluation of information (for development). Many of the members were involved in developing the Toolkit.

This is the pre-publication version of the Toolkit and a final version will be published by CTA in 2006.
