		<description><![CDATA[Alanna: Most people picture international work as feeding hungry people, providing health care to refugees, or building schools. In reality, it makes no sense to pay an expatriate to do that. Instead, we do what cannot be hired locally: English-language paperwork. We write reports to HQ and donors, proposals, and program guidelines. We write even [...]]]></description>

Interesting enough, but these articles always leave me with a sense that the writer just doesn&#8217;t get it &#8211; apparently &#8220;Within 48 hours: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The government are very keen on amassing statistics. They collect them, add them, raise them to the nth power, take the cube root and prepare wonderful diagrams. But you must never forget that every one of these figures comes in the first instance from the village watchman, who just puts down what he damn pleases. [...]]]></description>

RiskRed is concerned with promoting education about disaster risk reduction, but its most interesting project from my perspective is the DRRlibrary, a DRR resource site with a social bookmarking approach, using tags to classify useful websites and documents.

		<description><![CDATA[In the run-up to the OCHA +5 Symposium (which apparently I&#8217;m not going to), Dennis King asks: How do we get more &#8220;Non-geeks&#8221; to use information technology and tools on a consistent basis? This has been the central problem with most of our work over the last decade.  It&#8217;s particularly obvious in the field, where [...]]]></description>

That was just one of the nuggets that I picked up last week in Sando, where the Swedish Rescue Services Agency has their training facility. I spent most of the day with a small group from NATO&#8217;s Partnership for [...]]]></description>

I know quite a lot about peace keeping &#8211; working in UNMIK (Kosovo), UNAMA (Afghanistan) and UNMIL (Liberia) will do that for you &#8211; although I wouldn&#8217;t call myself an expert, more of an engaged observer. So it was interesting yesterday to meet with the information management team at the Best [...]]]></description>
