New global development website over at the Guardian. According to the press release:
“The Guardian today has launched a new website in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to help focus the world’s attention on global development. The site will provide a new space for discussion and interaction on the biggest challenges affecting the lives of billions of people across the developing world, including poverty, hunger, infant mortality, adaptation to climate change and economic development.”
The site itself can be found here. I haven’t explored much yet, but so far the datastore looks particularly interesting…

Site looks great! Does the Stanford department of Development studies have a similar one?
Cheers Mel
Hi William! Stanford actually doesn’t have a development studies department per se, but we do have several centers and institutes that conduct development-related research. Check out FSI: http://fsi.stanford.edu/ as a jumping off point.
