I received the very interesting announcement below from the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation ACP-EU (CTA). The announcement regards the new http://www.newsfordev.org news service for agricultural development professionals.

Initiatives like this in various sectors in Africa present a powerful opportunity for Africans to address the "information overload" issue while keeping themselves informed and connected with events and happenings in their fields. RSS Feeds and e-mail digests such as those provided by CTA are particularly relevant for those lacking regular access to the Internet. Check it out and let us all know how it works out for you.
