Our fellowship, exchange, and assistance programs are aimed at developing a strong, organized constituency for civil society and sustainable development acting regionally. Periodic meetings for alumni of these programs have provided continued interaction amount peer organizations, regional coordination, as well as strategic planning for the continuation of the program. The next Regional Meeting for program alumni will be held in Turkey in late October 2008. The program also produces an annual newsletter and various thematic publications to keep our alumni informed of each other's work and of new additions to this network.
