The Rural Finance Learning Centre is managed by an Editorial Team within the Rural Infrastructure and Agro-Industries Division (AGS) of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations. The rural finance specialists of FAO have a long history of providing guidance and facilitating exchange of information in this technical field. The development of this website has thus been a natural step to exploit the connectivity provided by the internet in maintaining this role.
The Editors actively seek out materials that will make a useful contribution to the site in the topic areas that have been identified. Their detailed day-to-day input includes activities such as analysing materials, writing abstracts, adapting resources for the training gateway, monitoring discussions and answering questions from members, as well as working on new innovations and design for the site. Editors also actively promote the RFLC in an effort to continually widen the user base but also to forge important relationships and contacts with key professionals in the field.
Specialist advice is obtained at regular intervals from well known experts in the field. They provide critiques of the site and make recommendations for improvements and potential content. Volunteer editors for individual topics would be welcomed.
