Information which is independent, accurate and timely is a key resource for development. Information needs to be locally generated in order to enable countries and communities to shape and communicate their own development agendas through informed public debate. Amplifying the voices of the poor and marginalized needs to be a particular focus.

We try to help reporters (both adult and child reporters) and people affected by certain development issues with factual, appropriate and timely information, in particular compiled in the Caribbean and Central America region and in Nigeria. The following resources are available on the site:

1. Journalist guides which assist reporters with tips and guidelines, methodologies, basic information, sources and resources (within the region and on the Internet), glossaries of technical terms, etc. on one of the themes Panos works on. Published till now:
• Journalists and STI/AIDS (in French only), March 2002.
• Covering Diversity (in English only), 2001.
• Oral Testimony Interview Techniques (in French and English), January 2000.
2. Theme pages which point to all news, resources and productions available across our site and sites of partner organizations, on a specific theme. One section is available on HIV/AIDS. In development are pages on child rights; environment; freedom of the press; and gender.
3. Photo galleries. There are hundreds of photos available on our site, spread out over all sections. We have made a common entry point available.
4. . Links to the sites of partner organizations (including some held on our site) and other web sites of interest.
5. Archives. Information and media productions older than 3 years is generally held here. Currently in our archive section:
   • Caravane of Artists and Youth Against HIV/AIDS, a national campaign in Haiti in the year 2000. This sub-site includes photos, articles, briefings, etc. (English and French)
