INASP Directory

 INASP is a co-operative network of partners. Its aim is to improve worldwide access to information and knowledge. In particular its mission is to improve the flow of information within and between countries, especially those with less developed systems of publication and dissemination, by publishing the INASP Directory and a sister publication the INASP Directory of Organizations and Networks in Rural Development: Africa  (which also includes an international section). Both these publications were out of date and were revised and published in hard copy as previously but also in CD ROM format and be included on the website, with links to the relevant home site.

The draft profile on AARINENA was updated by sending the corrected information to Dr. Pru Watts-Russell and the Association was included in the next editions.
