| The Third World
Even though Internet use is nowhere near as widespread in the
Third World as it is in Europe or North America, there is no shortage
of material on politics in the third world. There are not,
however, many general portals or gateways such as those we find on
individual countries, though there are plenty for Africa, Asia, or
Latin America. The best general sources are the Virtual Library's
sites on:
Development
Sustainability
Microcredit
In addition, consult the Third
World Society and the excellent collection on practical projects
maintained by
Richard
Estes
Many of the NGOs and think tanks working in the field have good
sites.
InterAction

Its site is the single best entry point to these groups and their
work.

World Network does the same from a more southern persepctive
The Grameen Bank is the
pioneering microcredit organization
The Fourth World Development
Project focuses on ethnic conflict and indigenous peoples
Many NGOs and IOs have made their data bases available on line.
