The NetWise partnership is centered around a website directory , which is accessible via the Internet and is also available on CD-ROM . Partner organisations include government, non-government, private, academic, research or development activities. They are largely based in the SADC region, although organisations outside southern Africa are also included if they have relevant experience or resources. Networking and promotion of the network in the region is taken on by Primary Partners which are NetWise focal point organisations in each SADC country. These Primary Partners have access to the Internet and are willing to network with organisations that do not have Internet access.
Partners update their own details on the Internet using a password .
Partners also provide the NetWise secretariat with general natural resource management information to add to the website. We work closely with other relevant regional networks to avoid duplication. Netwise invites you to join this user friendly and innovative network by registering as a member directly or by contacting the secretariat . There are no charges involved.
