We are pleased to announce the release of a new manual specifically designed to plug a gap – by helping NGOs in the Middle East and North Africa who want to do more in the field of Human Rights. A lot of consideration and cross-cultural consultation has gone into the making of An Introduction to Human Rights in the Middle East & North Africa – a Guide for NGOs.

Note, for slow internet connections, we recommend to download the smaller (1Mb) PDF rather than the Word doc. We're now have an Arabic language version of this title to join our growing list of manuals and resources in Arabic.

Games are a great way to get behaviour change. So we thought we'd breathe new life into an old favourite – Having Healthy Babies: an Educational "Snakes and Ladders" Game gets across the key messages via a colourful game board and question cards. Full supporting information and instructions included!

Finally, in case you didn't notice it slip into our library in the summer: we have a handy 17-page guide to Managing the Project Cycle.

We appreciate it's not always easy to find everything on our site so here's a quick guidance:

• All our manuals (Word and PDF documents) can be found in the library.

Tip: to find a particular title, instead of scrolling through the whole list you can use the 'Library Themes' menu which appears at the left of the library page. Or click the 'Search document' icon at top to locate any manual with a particular keyword in the title.

• All our other resources (articles and links to information) are categorized into NGO Fields and NGO Skills.

We've recently added a sitemap so you can easily browse all this content from one place. To locate all the info on a specific keyword, it's quickest to use the searchbox (at the top right of every page).

Our brand new Organizational Management skills section gives the lowdown on all you need to know about running a good ship. Strategic planning… Human resource management… Office management… Financial management…

Our comprehensive manual for startups, How to Build a Good Small NGO, is now available in French (Comment Construire une Bonne Petite ONG).

Colleagues in the Arab world have carried out a study into issues and useful approaches in the field of Domestic Violence. You can read their report, Arabic domestic violence.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Networklearning recently took the step to become a stichting – that is an officially registered body (in the Netherlands, where our core team is based) – with a written constitution: setting out our fundamental goals, the means we'll use to achieve them, and how our organisation will be managed.
