Welcome to another edition of GDRC Mosaic!
This month, GDRC Mosaic is being sent to
more than 2,000 subscribers in 130 countries worldwide.
THIS MONTH'S SPOTLIGHT: NGO Fund Raising Strategies,
from GDRC's Programme on the NGO Cafe.
As the programmes and projects of NGOs expand,
the need for money to run their operations becomes
all the more critical. Much of this comes from
third party funding organizations, either in the
country where the NGO operates, or from countries
that assist projects in developing countries.
This NGO Cafe feature was created to collate
current thinking and resources on the topic.
These are strategies for fund raising in general,
and the Cafe itself does not disburse funds to
NGOs.
GDRC has been working on these and related issues.
Resources on this topic are available at:
http://www.gdrc.org/ngo/funding/fund-raising.html
As with all sections of GDRC, contributions, comments
and suggestions are always welcome from users and
subscribers! Please contact GDRC's Coordinator at -

FOCUS ON GDRC: LEARNING LESSONS
Jack of all Trades, and Master of Quite-a-Few
With more and more information being made available
on the internet, and with its increased access by
users, it has become a priority to rethink
information delivery processes.
How does the user use information and for what
purposes? How do we deliver information to better
suit the needs of the user? How do we facilitate
the construction of knowledge in the user's mind?
For this to happen, we need a Jack-of-all-Trades
(i.e. a person who can understand and appreciate
all the problems and issues involved - the big
picture - with which he or she performs), but
also someone who is Master-of-Quite-a-Few (i.e.
a person who is well versed in his/her speciality
and is also able to articulate it vis-a-vis the
big picture), in order to address the myriad
challenges of sustainability.
