Toolkit of Good Practice, Opportunities and Challenge
The Toolkit belongs to UKOWLA (The UK One World Linking Organisation). Set up in 1984 to support, promote and encourage communities in the UK to develop partnership links with communities in the South (Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean) and was commisioned by BUILD (Building Understanding through International Links for Development) as a resource for schools, churches, towns, healthcare organisations, local authorities, ethnic minority groups and others forming links with counterparts in the developing world.
The Toolkit is designed for you to bring down and use any part of it which suits your needs as your link develops but it is important to see the resource as a whole and in particular to understand the basic principles of linking.
UKOWLA has copyright of The Toolkit's contents and it must not be reproduced
or altered without their permission. This is an evolving resource and feedback
and constructive comments which we can build into what is already written
are welcomed. Please email UKOWLA with thoughts and comments.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu on Climate Change
What if dealing with climate change meant more than a flick of a switch, a couple of clicks on a thermostat, or a turn of the knob on an electric fan? Would our friends in the industrialized world think differently if the side effects of climate change were worse than extended summer months and the arrival of exotic species in the northern hemisphere?

Archbishop of Canterbury - Speech on Micro Finance
…delivery systems of development goals depend very, very heavily in practice throughout Africa and in other areas as well on local Christian communities. We are well placed to use those resources properly and responsibly. We are well placed to work with communities as they set their local priorities; because there is a good coverage of the ground; there is a volunteer spirit; there is a sense of personal responsibility for the needs of others. We have got all that and we have to use it and we have often to persuade others in government and in secular NGOs that it is worth working with us.

Commission for Africa
Religion can be a model for the state. If the African state is to become more effective it needs to understand what it is about religion that builds loyalty, creates infrastructure, collects tithes and taxes, fosters a sense that it can deliver material as well as spiritual benefits. Religion can, of course, be misused but it can also be a partner in development. Faith leaders have great influence on shaping social attitudes, community relationships, personal responsibility and sexual morals.
