The National Council for Voluntary Organisation (NCVO), based in England, has published a series of publications regarding new trends in philanthropy. These include:
* A Gift Relationship? Charitable giving in theory and practice * From Asking to Earning: Exploring the Journey of Trading * ICT Foresight - consultation and campaigning in the age of participatory media * ICT, social capital and voluntary action * The UK Voluntary Sector Almanac 2006 * Voluntary Action - meeting the challenges of the 21st Century * Voluntary Sector Strategic Analysis 2006/07 All available from here: http://www.ncvo-vol.org.uk/publications/publication.asp?id=3458 These publications relate to the digital divide in that several of them provide excellent arguments for why its important to give people and communities full access to online tools and resources. In the interest of full disclosure: Ben Anderson and I provided the content for the issue on "ICT, social capital and voluntary action." The publication looks at how new technologies impact on social connections and networks, and focuses particularly on online communities and online volunteering. -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Ms. Jayne Cravens MSc Bonn, Germany Services for Nonprofits/NGOs/Civil Society www.coyotecommunications.com International & Development Studies & Work www.coyotecommunications.com/development Contact me www.coyotecommunications.com/contact.html www.ivisit.com id: jcravens.4947 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list [email protected] http://digitaldivide.net/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
