MANAGING NGO RESOURCE CENTRES
by Coady International Institute, Canada
Development organizations around the world recognize the power of information to raise awareness and mobilize action for social change. They also recognize the need to develop their own capacity to access, organize and use information effectively. They need methods that are both locally appropriate and globally connected.
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, a resource centre. The workshop format will emphasize the active exchange of ideas among participants within a collaborative learning environment. Participants will also have access to excellent information technology facilities. Registration will be limited to 25 participants.
