NEF's Center 'Stacked' with Development Info

NEF's Learning Resource Center is the largest source of Arabic-language international development materials anywhere. There are over 30,000 items printed, online, audio-visual in both English and Arabic available for development practitioners, students, and academics in the region. Ali Abd Al Mohsen, a development practitioner, expresses his delight that the Center is "a hub of information, " giving him free daily access to the information he needs.

Open to Distinguished Guests Thru Students

Dr. Alaa Saber (l), director of NEF's Center for Development Services, takes international visitor, Stephen Toben, president of the US Flora Family Foundation, on a tour of this significant resource, promoting excellence in the field of international development and impacting Middle East. Most importantly, the Center is free, open and accessible to the public.

One Student's Endorsement

Mofida Aly, a student at Cairo University's Social Science Department, is a frequent visitor to the Center and has passed the word: "It's an outstanding source of information in various fields, especially for education issues that focus on personality development. That's why I've introduced the LRC to my colleagues and they have started to benefit too."
