The Development
Gateway is about collaboration. It's about making it easier for all of
us who are involved in development to find our way around the masses of
information available--and much that's not yet available. It's about
sharing information, finding solutions--at all levels, and talking to each
other. And most of all it's about working together to empower communities
and improve the lives of the poorest among us.
To complement and leverage existing efforts of the development community, a collaborative initiative is under way to create the Gateway, including inter-governmental organizations, members of the public and private sectors, and civil society groups. The Development Gateway is a portal website on development issues, from which users can access information, resources, and tools, and into which they can contribute their own knowledge and experience, the Gateway creates a common platform for shared material, dialogue, and problem-solving that is easy to access and navigate through. This will enable those in the development field to share information, easily communicate, and build communities of practice around significant challenges from the grassroots up. |
