The Organization also serves as a clearinghouse – for the dissemination and sharing of information and knowledge – while helping Member States to build their human and institutional capacities in diverse fields. In short, UNESCO promotes international co-operation among its 191 Member States and six Associate Members in the fields of education, science, culture and communication. “

http://pirate.shu.edu/~mirabero/NGO%20Study/Study%20Overview%20Page.htm: The Seton Hall NGO Education study. Offers a list of university level NGO education programs (those that train people to manage NGOs). Were we to get in contact with these departments, we should in theory have access to a substantial wealth of NGO contacts. Argentina, Brazil, Nigeria, and Thailand are among our represented green countries. Other programs are in nearby regions that could possibly, through a longer trail, offer us information on other target countries that don't have similar university programs. The Study can be found at: http://pirate.shu.edu/~mirabero/NGO%20Study/Master%20List%20of%20Programs%20July%202006.doc

http://ngo.org/ is a somewhat outdated site that nevertheless maintains a fairly large compendium of links referring to specific U.N./NGO relevant issues, including education. Run by http://www.idealist.org/
