International is a nonprofit that fights poverty through microlending. We are committed to understanding the relationship between the oppression of women and other forms of oppression in the society, and we are working actively for change. The website is currently a work in progress, but it is already an excellent resource for statistics that are available by country on gender profile summaries, basic demographic data, population dynamics, labor force structure, education and health. Information on its current programmes and missions are provided.
Volunteers can sign up for short term missions conducted worldwide.
This web site provides information on current news, ongoing research and publications, many of which can be downloaded in full text. International Development Network provides information resources for sustainable development initiatives. Facilities provided on the web site include an online bookstore, country profiles, links to funding opportunities, development links and a listing of conferences and other events. Community Adaptation and Sustainable Livelihoods programme has been trying to understand the complex livelihoods of rural people in less-developed countries. The Community Adaptation and Sustainable Livelihoods programme is now developing tools to help local people work within the sustainable livelihoods framework, so that they can define their own future.
