GuideStar in demand in Europe

This year should see several national GuideStars and a Pan-European Platform established in Europe. This is the upshot of an 18-month programme, concluded in December 2008 and co-funded by the European Commission and various governmental, private sector and philanthropy sources, to undertake ‘market feasibility’ assessments in those countries. This is part of GuideStar International’s (GSI) project to build a global network of websites to present information on different countries’ civil society organizations. GSI is currently supporting development programmes in nine countries.
