Subj: Inquiry on Non-Governmental Organizations
Dear SANetters:
Is there any published/privately compiled list of Non-Governmental
Organizations working in the field of sustainable agriculture and
rural development? I would greatly appreciate any information on this.
If no such list is availble, our organization wishes to compile one.
In that case, please send brief information relevant to each agency
in various countries.
Thanks in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Ancha Srinivasan
