Managing NGO Resource Centres.
May 12-June 6, 2003
Development organizations around the world use the power of
information to raise awareness and mobilize action for
social change. To develop their own capacity to access,
organize and use information effectively, many NGOs
establish small information resource centres.
The Certificate in Managing NGO Resource Centres will
provide participants with the opportunity to gain or improve
skills in managing information, as well as to analyse the
dynamics of indigenous knowledge, appropriate media,
information sharing and networking. During the program
participants will develop an action plan for their resource
centre's contribution to the community-based development,
information and education strategies of their organization.
This unique four-week program is intended for those actively
working in, or planning to establish, an information
resource centre. Registration will be limited to 25
participants. Bursary support may be available to
organizations with limited resources.
