IDRC Provides Funds
for Re-design of AMN Website
The AMN
and Ecotrust Canada have received funding from the International Development
Research Center to begin redevelopment of the AMN Web site. Currently,
the Web site is used by over 9000 discreet visitors (a growing number
of them from overseas). The re-design will meet two primary needs the
AMN is facing: to present an updated and clearly organized website reflecting
the increasing international audience of users, and represent a rejuvenation
of the Network through expanded, innovative functionality and services.
