Claim

Sophisticated communications systems have radically changed the role the NGOs play throughout the world. They need to broker information better. Some NGOs need training to use electronic networks effectively in political and technical work. Also more efforts should be made to promote communication with isolated regions of the world, offering timely information and links with other organizations that share common interests.
