Dear Friends and colleagues in the Middle East and North Africa,

Do you work in an Arab-speaking NGO?
Are you wishing to look critically at how well you are doing?

We have some good manuals in Arabic for you!
Two have been written by Networklearning and translated by the Beirut office of the National Democratic Institute.

These are:

• “How to Build a Good Small NGO”
  (Because it is a big document, you can also download it in three sections)

Then we have:

• “Incorporating Gender into your NGO”.

Another manual will help you look at your money:

• nearly completed, Mango's "Financial Health Check", also in Arabic. (You may have to register your details with Mango before being able to download)
  

Colleagues in the Arab world have carried out a study into issues and useful approaches in the field of Domestic Violence.
The resulting report is now available in PDF form from our library.

Some of the authors would also like to form an email discussion group (Arabic language) around the issue of domestic Violence and similar in the Middle East and North Africa. If you are interested, contact us and we can link you up. (Alas we do not speak or write Arabic).

Other websites with which you might want to keep in touch:

• The Project on Middle East Democracy
• The Middle East page of Human Rights Watch

Let us know…

• which manuals you need next in Arabic
• about good websites to which we could link.
