Friends: A number of Ugandan development activists have taken part in the South-South Exchange Travelling Workshop we at MSSRF, Chennai, organise every year since 2002. One of them should be able to help the new project. Or, if financial resources permit, someone from the new project could visit MSSRF's rural knowledge centres for a week and see how things are done in southern India. Also of interest should be the Open Knowledge Network [OKN piloted by OneWorld, MSSRF and other partners]. Among international agencies, both IDRC and IICD are active in Uganda.
