Partner Organizations
The first two organizations listed below are working with GDAE to distribute the SSL in the specified countries. As this process continues we expect that this list will grow quickly.
Aga Khan Foundation (Pakistan) (AKF (P)) is a branch of the Aga Khan Foundation (headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland), which is a private, international development agency, committed to supporting disadvantaged communities irrespective of race, gender, religious affiliation or political persuasion. As part of the Aga Khan Development Network, AKF (P) promotes effective change in social sector development in Pakistan. Through its projects, AKF (P) addresses issues in health care, education, rural development and institutional strengthening of civil society organizations. AKF (P) is the Social Science Library’s outreach and distribution agent in Pakistan.
BRAC University, a leading private university in Bangladesh, based in Dhaka, provides outstanding academic and research services. Its parent organization, BRAC, is the largest NGO in the world and is involved in significant development and humanitarian work through out the developing world. BRAC University is the Social Science Library’s outreach and distribution agent in Bangladesh.
Other organizations that have supplied valuable time and effort to the SSL:
Winrock International is an international nonprofit organization that works with people in the United States and around the world to empower the disadvantaged, increase economic opportunity and sustain natural resources. In the Fall of 2008, Winrock implemented a pilot distribution of the SSL CDs in Ghana and Nigeria. This has increased our understanding of the need for SSL, as well as technical and other issues in its use.
eIFL.net is a NGO that supports and advocates for the wide availability of electronic resources for library users in developing and transitional countries. Members of eIFL.net library consortia have provided helpful feedback on preliminary editions of the SSL.
International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers (STM), is an international organization of science and academic publishers. STM members publish more than 80% of the global annual output of research articles in the sciences. STM introduced the SSL project to their members, and helped us secure reprint permissions from several major publishers.
