I was wondering if anyone knew of any good organisations that deal with trauma that I could volunteer with in East, South and West Africa? I am keen to work alongside mental health professionals or support workers involved with young people who have suffered trauma from conflict, abuse, bereavement and so on.

Hey Guys,

I was hoping to get a hold of some people that are have, are currently, or know of anybody running any HIV/AIDS education programs within pastoralist communities in Africa. I am currently designing a pilot program for the Maasai, and would love your comments or any other help.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Development Experience Clearinghouse (DEC) is the largest online resource for USAID funded technical and program documentation, with over 46300 documents available for electronic download. Search the Development Experience System (DEXS), USAID's online database of agency-funded technical and program-related documents using the term "evaluation" and it returns some 500 documents representing methodological guidelines as well as project evaluation reports. The site allows the user to download USAID documents in PDF format for free, and sign up for DEC Express, the bi-weekly e-publication that lists recently acquired documents.

Hi everyone,

I did a search on the old AidWorkers Network forum and found some outdated posts on software to use for logistics purposes such as warehouse management and tracking shipments.

We have approximately 4 offices in the US, 1 starting up in Canada, and four overseas in country offices and we need some type of software so everyone in all the offices can see what is available in our main warehouse. The program also needs to be able to be used in Spanish.

The Resource Center's Effective Practices Collection is compiled by the US government agency in charge of the country's national service programs; while the information is focused on these programs, a number of the resources, all free, can benefit aid workers in developing countries. Resources cover a huge range of topics: "Hosting a successful web conference," "Designing a recruitment timeline," "Analyzing quantitative data from program beneficiaries," "Using qualitative data to add value to performance measurement,"

A project to produce and disseminate a field handbook that brings together best practice in the procurement, logistics and use of timber in humanitarian emergencies is underway.
