Found this quite interesting organisation in Canada. Lots to find out about projects throughout the world, various NGOs, publications and library, etc.. Maybe for some of you of interest!

The International Development Research Centre is a public corporation created by the Parliament of Canada in 1970 to help developing countries use science and technology to find practical, long-term solutions to the social, economic, and environmental problems they face. Support is directed toward developing an indigenous research capacity to sustain policies and technologies developing countries need to build healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous societies.
