This piece is about female condoms. I bring them up for discussion because they are currently out of the limelight. When they first appeared, they seemed full of promise – a method of protection against pregnancy and HIV which could be used and controlled by women. In practice they pose problems – including the fact that they are a bit of a joke. So this is a reminder of the key facts and issues.

We are developing a new NGO field resource on our site, intended to help you consider how to make your NGO more ‘environmentally friendly’ – and get involved in areas of rapidly growing importance: tackling desertification, growing food organically, solar energy, bee-keeping… We have already gathered some inspiring resources and you are invited to add your knowledge to this list. » Our environment
We are pleased to announce the release of a new manual specifically designed to plug a gap – by helping NGOs in the Middle East and North Africa who want to do more in the field of Human Rights. A lot of consideration and cross-cultural consultation has gone into the making of An Introduction to Human Rights in the Middle East & North Africa – a Guide for NGOs . Note, for slow internet connections, we recommend to download the smaller (1Mb) PDF rather than the Word doc. We’re now have an Arabic language version of this title to join our growing list of manuals and resources in Arabic . Games are a great way to get behaviour change. So we thought we’d breathe new life into an old favourite – Having Healthy Babies: an Educational “Snakes and Ladders” Game gets across the key messages via a colourful game board and question cards. Full supporting information and instructions included! Finally, in case you didn’t notice it slip into our library in the summer: we have a handy 17-page guide to Managing the Project Cycle .
