SUM
 | SUM is our upcoming periodical on international development designed for
foundation and non-profit boards of directors, NGO workgroups and
educators. Readers will have front-row seats to the social and
technological issues that are radically changing the landscapes of
opportunity and risk for the world’s poor. SUM will enable you and many other organizational leaders to see opportunities and make connections you may otherwise have missed. Technological topics in particular are growing in importance, while remaining the least understood and most dynamic component affecting the world’s poor. Issues like genetically-modified foods, climate change, communications and energy can create windows of hope as well as trap-doors of risk or even outright harm. Of course, these technologies are reflexively involved with democratic and social changes. Few leaders of foundations, nonprofits and international organizations have the time to read everything they would like to read. Burgeoning amounts of internet information, books and journals make it increasingly difficult for leaders to identify the core writings they need to be effective. Conversely, SUM will deliver knowledge that can be acted upon immediately. Over time, readers will build a broad foundation on the smartest research available. SUM will be available here starting in 2008-2009. |
