We had a GLOWing time!

For the Partnership day of the workshop, the Programme Content Team recommends you to read this one-page paper by Bruce Jenks (Director of the Bureau for Resources & Strategic Partnerships, UNDP) on "Rethinking Partnerships". Jenks will be one of our external resource persons for the Partnership day.

We've created an easy way for you to access the background reading material with a single click from any page of this website. Look under the "Suggested reading" on the right column, where we've listed all documents and websites that have been recommended by the Programme Content Team for reading in advance. Just click on any of the document/website name to reach it directly!

Thanks to Rama for suggesting this! We're listening!!

If you're planning to pariticpate in the regional session on Africa during the workshop, then you should read in advance the following documents, recommended by the Programme Content Team (all documents in MS Word format):

PDOG-Africa Strategy 2005-2007
2004-2006 Planning Framework for Africa Section

In preparation of the Day 2 of the workshop (focussing on Global Framework) the Programme Content Team recommends you to visit the Millennium Campaign's website and also the website of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty.

The home page of the Global Call site has a dropdown menu of countries which link to national civil society campaigns around the world (where they exist). The site also gives information on which organizations around the world are actively involved in the Global Call to Action Against Poverty. The Millennium Campaign website also has good information on national country campaigns and some great audiovisual materials (e.g. the 'Only With Your Voice' video clips).

Also strongly recommended are the following (in PDF):
