Introduction
Welcome to the directory of development organizations 2011, Volume II: Asia and the
Middle East
The directory of development organizations, listing 70.000 development organizations, has been
prepared to facilitate international cooperation and knowledge sharing in development work, both
among civil society organizations, academic and research institutions, governments and the private
sector.
The directory aims to promote interaction and active partnerships among key development
organisations in civil society, including NGOs, trade unions, faith-based organizations, indigenous
peoples movements, foundations and research centres. In creating opportunities for dialogue with
governments and private sector, civil society organizations are helping to amplify the voices of the
poorest people in the decisions that affect their lives, improve development effectiveness and
sustainability
and
hold
governments
and
policymakers
publicly
accountable.
In particular, the directory is intended to provide a comprehensive source of reference for
development practitioners, researchers, donor employees, and policymakers who are committed to
good governance, sustainable development and poverty reduction, through: the financial sector and
microfinance, trade and business development services, rural development and appropriate
technology, private sector development and policy reforms, legislation & rule of law and good
governance, community development and social protection, gender equality and participation,
environment and health, research, training and education.
As part of the collective effort to meet the Millennium Development Goals by 2015, the Year of
Microcredit provided an opportunity for the international community to raise awareness about the
importance of microfinance in eradicating poverty, and to enhance existing programmes that support
sustainable, inclusive financial sectors worldwide. In essence, microfinance offers each day the
possibility and hope to many poor people of improving - through their own efforts - their household
economic welfare and well-being and enterprise stability and growth. Therefore, In this 2011 edition,
microfinance actors and practitioner organizations have been marked by [M], integrating
microfinance
institutions
and
enabling
environment
into
one
directory.
This cutting-edge publication -- Eleventh Edition -- will give you hundreds (thousands) of useful sites
where you can find the statistics, reports, regulations, best practices and other key information you
need...when you need it. This time-saving tool includes a country finder index and annotates each
organization by category, so you'll know from the start whether an organization is worth visiting. Its
Internet resources will point you in the direction of the best development resources available in each
country on the World Wide Web today.
Please note:
For easier referencing, the directory has been divided into 6 geographical sections: Africa, Asia
and the Middle East, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America, and Oceania.
For each of the regions contacts have been annotated by the following 9 categories: (1)
international organizations; (2) government institutions; (3) private sector support organizations
(including fairtrade); (4) finance institutions; (5) training and research centres; (6) civil society
organizations; (7) development consulting firms (including references to job opportunities and
vacancy announcements); (8) information providers (development newsletters/journals); and, (9)
grantmakers.
The directory can be used in a variety of ways... by researchers, consultants and other
development practitioners searching for up-to-date institutional information for a particular
country; by trainers using the directories as a reference tool for their training programmes; by
organizations trying to identify possible project partners; by individuals looking to identify possible
employers; by funders seeking grantees; by grantees in search of funders; or by organizations
aiming at identifying those institutions, agencies and programmes which are dedicated to
providing resources, products and services to their members.
For an advanced search we recommend to download Adobe Reader's latest full version and try

on-the-fly in one pane and options for multiple-document searches do exist.
