The
International Water Management Institute (IWMI) has introduced a new
publication series. The
Water Policy Briefing series presents new perspectives
and solutions to water problems in developing countries. Each briefing is
based on peer-reviewed research that challenges policy makers and planners
to think differently about the way water is managed for agriculture.
Development
Policy Forum/DSE of the German Foundation for International Development.
The objective of the Development Policy Forum is to promote political
dialogue within the framework of multilateral and bilateral development
cooperation. The Forum provides an opportunity to talk informally, free from
the pressure to make decisions and from direct political constraints.

The
Center for Economic and Social
Rights (CESR) was established in 1993 to promote social justice through
human rights. CESR works with social scientists and local partners in
affected communities to document rights violations, advocate for changes in
policies that impoverish and exploit people, and mobilize grassroots pressure
for social change.
