Global Development Gateway (GDG)

This new pilot project from the World Bank is designed as a portal for resources and tools on development issues, enabling those in the field to “share information, easily communicate, and build communities of practice around significant development challenges from the grassroots up.” Currently, users can visit the site to learn about the project, its prototype features, and view the demo. At present, the demo offers country gateways for twelve nations. Each gateway provides numerous annotated links organized by topic under four categories: country guide; government and law; economy and business; and society, culture, and human development. News, a link to data, and a keyword search engine are also provided. At least 50 country gateways will be operational by June 2003. The demo also includes resources for selected topics and links to development-related news stories. Anyone interested in development issues will want to track the progress of this site.
