Excellent resource

Always loved the high quality resources, this app now makes them SO much more accessible, especially for development professionals in the disconnected corners of this world! Well done Practical Action.

Comprehensive resource & easy to use

Having audited a vast volume of communication materials for one of the largest peace and development organisations in the world, this project and collection of action oriented resources is very well structured. Simple and intuitive interface with valuable information packs. This will, without doubt have positive impact in the areas that need it most. Well done. P.S. I will be using some of the rain water harvesting ideas at home!
