FREEDOM FROM HUNGER LAUNCHES TECHNICAL RESOURCE SITE
A new resource has just come online offering microfinance, adult
education and public health professionals in-depth information
on integrated program strategies.
On January 25, Freedom from Hunger launched www.ffhtechnical.org,
a site that focuses on the lessons Freedom from Hunger has learned
from more than a decade's experience implementing, expanding and
evaluating its own integrated service, Credit with Education.
The Web site, called the Technical Resource Site, is distinctly
different from Freedom from Hunger's mainstream site because it
meets the needs of practitioners, researchers and other professionals
who want to learn more about the organization's methodology
and research.
The Technical Resource Site's publications section
(http://www.ffhtechnical.org/publications/index.html) offers more
than 40 publications, including Freedom from Hunger's entire
series of research papers, available to download in PDF and
HTML formats, or to order in hard copy form by mail. Many
of the publications are also available on the Web site in
Spanish and French.
The site also contains detailed programmatic descriptions of the
integrated poverty-lending and education methodology
(http://www.ffhtechnical.org/cwep/index.html) along with a
summary of findings from the Credit with Education impact studies
(http://www.ffhtechnical.org/cwep/impact.html).
Read about a new effort to use group-based lending programs as a
forum for promoting HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness on the
What's New page (http://www.ffhtechnical.org/news.html).
Freedom from Hunger hopes the Technical Resource site will be
useful for a range of professionals looking for specific technical
information. Please contact programs@freefromhunger.org with
your questions, comments and suggestions for the new site.
