InterAction has released the 2011 Foreign Assistance Briefing Book, a resource (available online or for download) that addresses 16 topics, from global warming to hunger to gender issues to disaster risk reduction. It is heady stuff and a look at global philanthropy and activism that is both deep and wide. It is a collection of writings and policy papers that represents the United States NGO/charitable field’s position on foreign policy issues. InterAction represents a united voice for global change, and this briefing book is the road map, and important reading for anyone thinking of launching a new not-for-profit venture or working for ways to make a difference. It is worth dipping into the website to look around chapters of particular interest to you, to round out your understanding of issues and how the current players in the NGO (Non-Government Organization) field are addressing the issue that matter most.
