DESCRIPTION: The NGO Café provides a means for sharing information and resources for NGOs to succeed. It is a project of the Global Development Research Center (GDRC).
From their site:
"Realizing the growing importance and voice of NGOs in development in general, the NGO Café was set up on the internet as a think tank for NGOs to discuss, debate and disseminate information on their work, strategies and results.
"The basic objectives of the Café are to assist NGOs in enhancing and improving their programmes and activities; to effect a better understanding of NGOs in general; and to enable NGOs to network at local, regional and international levels.
The site has the following sections:
