Re: [europrospecting] Research Resources in the Gulf

Hi Jude
 

Have you checked fResource/THINK Resource, or tried a good library for international foundation directories?

 

In January 2008, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, announced the launch of the Arab Centre for Philanthropy. I am not sure that much is available yet.

 

Since 2002, the Charity Commission has provided technical assistance to over 20 countries and has run regional workshops “to share best practice”. The Commission works in the Middle East, Africa, South Asia and South East Asia, and it has developed www.NGOregnet.org “to be a portal for national and international best practice”. The NGO website “is designed to help people, organisations and governments find out more about the regulation of NGOs”, and “acts as a gateway to information on developments around the world”. There is some information on the United Arab Emirates, but not much at the moment. Unfortunately, useful though this site can be, the Charity Commission doesn’t keep it as up to date as they might. I understand that this is due to financial constraints. Do let them know if you want them to update things. If we tell them, they might recognize that there is some demand for this resource.

 

Good luck
