Aid Workers Network Information Leaflet

How many times have you reinvented the wheel?

When working in international relief and development projects, we often face situations others have encountered before us. Sometimes we ask around and consult a few colleagues for their opinions and advice. Other times we "jump in at the deep end" and do as best we can under the circumstances.

Aid Workers Network
links international relief and development field staff to share support, ideas and best practice.

The Aid Workers Network is an independent learning community of aid workers willing to provide mutual support and practical advice based on experience. It is managed by aid workers for aid workers. It is run by volunteers and membership is free. By subscribing you will receive Aid Workers Exchange, a weekly e-mail for knowledge sharing amongst field staff in humanitarian relief and international development. The format of the e-mail alternates between questions/responses and short articles. You can also check the website www.aidworkers.net. This website aims at encouraging and facilitating the exchange of knowledge and experience amongst aid workers all around the world. It is an evolving site providing compact "how-to" guides, checklists, background briefings and links to other online resources which have been recommended by fellow field workers.
