GGuide to collect info on a Topic
Help to improve aid by providing, the lacking bits of information
If we are ever, to get some insight into the state of development, we have to do it together. Efficient development has to include information from both; donors, recipients and the charity organizations. Everyone can contribute with knowledge, found on-line or in your local community etc.
You can choose both big and small topics. A topic like 'hunger' is quite big, whereas something like 'assistance to rain-water harvesting' may be smaller to cover but, perhaps, also more difficult to find ngos working with. You can add any topic that people need assistance with, and it would be wise to choose a topic you know, or wish to know, a lot about.
To make a page for a topic, you may:
- Choose any topic, within which people may need assistance.
- Deside if you want the list of NGOs to be global or local. If global then you should only pick international aid organizations. It is easier to find the local ones but then you'll need to specify an area, preferable from one of the countries that are already featured.
To find organizations working in the country, try to find government web-sites. The Charity Navigator is also a good place to look for charities also has good insight into international organizations. Otherwise, simple searches are a good way to get on track, even the phonebook may come in handy. You can also ask local municipalities or people.
You simply e-mail me whatever, relevant, information you find and e-mail it to: thecharityreview@gmail.com then I'll add it the right places.
In general, it would be nice if all of the included charities/ngos/ organizations were free of charge. But if the costs are small, for instance, like a small yearly membership fee, then I will trust your judgment on that. Also, if you do good work and wish to be part of the groups in charge of the information on a country, let me know in the e-mail and I'll put your name on top of the page. If you have any questions write me and ask :) info@aidevaluator.com
