Dear CivilSoc subscribers,
As part of an ongoing joint program between the Center for Citizen
Initiatives and the Russian Ministry of Agriculture's Department of
Specialized Secondary Education, monthly informational newsletters are
being distributed from consulting & information centers to agricultural
producers and processors in seven Russian regions. This program is made
possible by a grant from the US Agency for International Development.
We are pleased to announce the availability (via the World Wide Web) of 10
monthly newsletters from the Arzamas consulting & information center,
focusing on various topics of interest to farmers and processors in the
Nizhegorodskaya oblast. There are now approximately 170 newsletters and
instructional guides (agricultural and general small-business) posted on
our site, which has sections for Windows, Mac, KOI and DOS font encodings.
Direct your browser to http://www.igc.org/cci/russpubs.html to select the
right encoding. This site is also mirrored on FADR's servers and updated
monthly.
A fundamental principle of management information systems (MIS) is that the
usefulness of any information network depends upon the content transferred
over that network. We hope to make the Web a powerful tool for spreading
useful knowledge that can help Russian farmers succeed with
environmentally-sustainable techniques.
