A Valuable Resource for Civil Society

Dear Colleagues,

As you know, the Development Gateway (http://www.developmentgateway.org?128) provides valuable information and services to civil society worldwide on development projects, government statistics, key development topics, and policy dialogue.

This unique Internet platform brings together information,
experiences, and perspectives from governments, civil society,
businesses, and donor agencies from over 32 countries. The Development
Gateway has just introduced a new version that has made it even more
focused, useful and interactive.

New features include:

·Expanded Accessible Information on Development Activities (AIDA)
database - with over 330,000 entries.
·More focused and in-depth pages on such varied topics as HIV/AIDS,
foreign direct investment, food security, e-government, gender,
environmental law, and indigenous peoples.
·Additional navigational languages including French, Spanish,
Russian, and Portuguese.
·Access tool kits, training modules, and directories geared to CSO
Capacity Building and fundraising.
·10 Country Gateways with content managed independently by local
teams.
·E-procurement service, which provides greater transparency and
opportunity for bidding on service contracts and purchases on projects
worldwide.
·Improved comprehensive data and statistics that compare across
countries and time.
