Sida Showcase and the Launch of IFLA's "Building Strong Library Associations" programme

ALP and FAIFE present highlights from the period of funding from the Swedish International Development and Co-operation Agency (Sida). Between 2004 and 2009 Sida funding enabled ALP and FAIFE to work on numerous innovative projects around the world. Many grassroots library training projects were funded by ALP, and FAIFE began a programme of training workshops based on IFLA policy documents such as the Internet Manifesto. Librarians involved with the most successful and interesting projects will present their experiences and the session will describe how the lessons learned from the period of Sida funding led to the creation of IFLA's new Building Strong Library Associations (BSLA) programme. Those involved in developing the BSLA programme, including educational designers and impact evaluation specialists will explain its content and importance, and attendees will have an opportunity to understand some of its content and how to apply for BSLA project funding in the future.

The session will be presented in different languages with simultaneous interpretation.
