A great new resource is now available for helping with internet searches.

There are currently 1026 NGO sites indexed. The project is described on the godort wiki:

 

“The NGO Search indexes local, regional and international NGOs from sources as diverse as AARP, Earth Watch Institute, International Crisis Group, OXFAM, the World Agricultural Forum. Sites were chosen based on their consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and also collated from University of Minnesota Human Rights Library, Duke University Libraries’ NGO Research Guide, and the World Association of Non-Governmental Organizations (WANGO).”
