New Publication Available in ISAR’s Resource Center ISAR Opens NGO Resource Center in Mingechevir Since September 22, ISAR has been operating an NGO Resource Center in Mingechevir. During an opening ceremony for the Center, government officials, local NGO leaders, and representatives of international organizations operating in Mingechevir had a chance to get acquainted with the services of the Center. ISAR-Azerbaijan Country Director Ms. Kim Perlow welcomed the guests and introduced them to the work of ISAR. Baku Resource Center Manager Naida Ramazanly gave visitors additional details about the services to be offered by the Mingechevir Center. NGOs expressed enthusiasm for the center, pleased that they would have access to information previously unavailable in their city. This information includes nearly 100 journals and books in Azeri, Russian, and English about NGO management and related topics, such as fundraising, financial management, environmental protection, and children’s issues. While ISAR’s regional program has been using a traveling staff to work with NGOs outside of Baku over the past year and a half, the Mingechevir Resource Center is ISAR’s first NGO Resource Center outside of Baku. The Center represents part of ISAR’s overall effort to help Azerbaijan’s non-governmental organizations (NGOs) develop. The Center provides services similar to those offered by ISAR’s Baku Resource Center, including a library, computer center offering free computer access as well as e-mail and Internet, to local NGO representatives. The two staff members of the Mingechevir Center will work with Baku-based staff to organize training, consultations, and meetings for the local NGOs from Mingechevir and surrounding areas.
ISAR made the decision to open the Center in Mingechevir because the city is home to a growing and developing local NGO sector, and is located near the cities of Sheki and Ganja, where ISAR also works. During the first month that the Center has been open, NGO representatives and individuals interested in NGOs from Mingechevir and surrounding regions have received consultations about the NGO sector in general, as well as on grant-writing and working with the mass media. Several information sessions for NGOs have been conducted at the Center, including a discussion on the role of volunteering in Azerbaijan. Additionally, several school groups have watched environmental videos at the Center, and ISAR’s Student Outreach Program staff have carried out interactive workshops at secondary schools in Mingechevir to teach children about the concept of local NGOs. The Mingechevir Resource Center is located at 19 Nizami St., Apt. 21, Mingechevir, tel: (8-147) 5-33-74, mingechevir-isar@azeurotel.com . The Center is open Monday-Friday from 10:00 am- 6:00 pm.
