Jayne Blog (Volunteerism, Nonprofit Tech, Civil Society, etc.)

Mar. 24, 2008 - Wikigender

Wikigender is an online platform to find and exchange information related to gender equality. Users are invited to comment on or improve existing articles at Wikigender, and to create or upload new documents. Wikigender is open to everyone. You can access all resources provided on this website and use its contents for your own personal needs, be it a research project on gender equality or simply your own interest in finding out more about this topic. Wikigender was initiated by the OECD Development Centre. A special focus of this project is to collect empirical evidence and to identify adequate statistics and measurement tools of gender equality. In this respect, Wikigender serves as a pilot project for the OECD Global Project on Measuring the Progress of Societies. In particular, Wikigender aims to highlight the importance of social institutions such as norms, traditions and cultural practices that impact on gender equality. Examples of such measures are presented in the OECD Gender, Institutions and Development Data Base (linked from the Wikigender site).

This blog (web log) is by Jayne Cravens, and is primarily focused on resources and news regarding mission-based organizations: nonprofits, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society, and public sector agencies, as well as development issues and humanitarian efforts. It promotes resources and opinions relating to volunteer management/community involvement, tech use by nonprofits, and outreach strategies for nonprofits. There are also some personal postings (such is the nature of blogs), regarding travel, causes I personally support (like women's empowerment, urban biking, etc.).
