The Unit has retooled the old Information Referral Services system , turning it into an Internet-based global information service on TCDC , accessible at http : //www.undp.org/tcdc/tcdc.htm . The new system , now called Information Referral Services - Web of Information for Development ( INRES-WIDE ) , provides a gateway through which interested parties can instantaneously tap into detailed information on 18,000 training programmes and 12,000 expert services offered by some 4,000 institutions in developing countries .
