Jane Boorstein & the Learning Our Way Out (LOWO) Program

LOWO is an innovative method for creating community conversation, sharing, and attitude change about Family Planning and Reproductive Health in international development settings. The method is spearheaded by Jane Boorstein, a member of the Board of Trustees of IIRR and Director of the Partnership for Sustainable Families and Communities.

Mapping Food Aid

Perhaps it is the Geography-lover in me, but I find this map fascinating!

See where food aid is being provided and by which organizations.

(The list is not definitive. Only InterAction members are listed which excludes many small organizations).

It appears that the countries with the most food aid projects are Bangladesh, Haiti, and Ghana.

You can click on the country to see details about the projects underway by the different organizations.
