United Nations Integrated Regional Information Networks

In an effort to disseminate more up-to-the-minute information about ongoing or potential crises in Africa and Asia, the UN has established this Website which provides detailed reports on developing conditions on these continents. The Website offers weekly reports on conditions in African and Asian countries as well as special reports on particular events such as recent reports on refugees from Angola moving into the Congo in an effort to escape fighting between the Angolan army and UNITA rebels and preparations for an election re-run in 16 of Zanzibar's 50 constituencies. Visitors can access an archive of previous reports on specific regions and countries as well as subscribe to free, customized email reports from IRIN on Asia and/or Africa. The Website is of singular value to aid-giving or receiving governments, aid workers, disaster specialists, and concerned members of the public as it reports on a wide array of political, economic, and social issues affecting humanitarian efforts.
