NewsforDev: CTA aggregator helps track newsfeeds and more

CTA recently announced a new service for development practitioners. NewsforDev employs RSS and e-mail news technology to bring together knowledge and information for development practitioners. It cleverly tracks 600 plus newsfeed to create a number of thematic dossiers on topics like:

• ACP-EU relations;
  
• Agriculture;
  
• Biodiversity;
  
• Biofuels;
  
• CTA;
  
• Climate change;
  
• Development;
  
• ICTs;
  
• Science and technology;
  
• Trade

Each dossier presents recent content from a number of sources; A nice featire is that you can also subscribe to feeds and updates on each dossier or feed.

A very nice example of the way that information specialists can 'mash' together existing information services in an accessible format....
