Our goal is to ensure that both individuals and organisations in the developing world are better placed to make informed decisions on these issues. We seek to achieve this objective primarily through running a free-access website, but also by building regional networks of individuals and institutions who share our goals, and by organising capacity-building workshops and other events in the developing world. Regional Gateways We currently have four regional gateways: Latin America and the Caribbean , <http://www.scidev.net/latinamerica/> Middle East and North Africa , <http://www.scidev.net/middleeast/> South and East Asia , <http://www.scidev.net/asia/> Sub-Saharan Africa . <http://www.scidev.net/africa/> These gateways bring together news, views and information that relates specifically to each region. Their design mirrors that of the main site, with sections for news, feature, and opinion articles, as well as directories of links, jobs, events, grants and other announcements. The Latin American gateway is available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Alternative language versions may also be introduced for other gateways in due course. The gateways are an important focus for SciDev.Net's work 'on the ground' in developing countries through our regional networks . As well as providing contacts, authors and material for the different elements of the SciDev.Net website, the networks are instrumental in SciDev.Net's efforts to support capacity building in science communication - for example, through our regional workshops. The Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa networks have already been launched, with plans to develop networks in South Asia, East and South-East Asia, and the Middle East and North Africa. <http://www.scidev.net/> SciDev.Net Newsfeed <http://www.scidev.net/index.cfm?fuseaction=subpages&root=aboutthissite&page=17> Would you like your website to feature the latest headlines about science, technology and the developing world? We can offer you a quick and simple way to do this with our automated newsfeed. It is free and provides up-to-date , authoritative news on science and technology in Asia, Africa and Latin America direct to your website.
