A few weeks ago I received an email from Jerry Hu introducing me to the Fuping Development Institute in Beijing, China. The organization works on poverty alleviation and sustainable development through activities in five main fields of work: establishment of civil society, corporate social responsibility and social investments, environment and sustainable development, education and employment, and integrated community development.
He writes:
The development level of NPOs in China is far behind with foreign countries, but we can keep up in IT area and Internet usage, Web2.0, blog, podcast are also popular words here. So what I concerned is how technology can help NPOs and individual to make a difference in China. I wanted to study the current situation in foreign countries and how can we start to follow. I am looking for reports or articles about how technology help NPO to make social change. our non-profit world. We need to focus on some fundamental use of technology in NPOs. Can you help?
What studies, reports, or articles would you recommend that Jerry read?
Hi Beth - I'm actually visiting the FDI in the summer having met their CEO at a conference (and then over here in London). It's great to see international connections being made like this in the sector worldwide.
