Delivering Health Information via the Blue Trunk Libraries

The BTL project is funded by international and bilateral donors such as the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the WHO, the German Council for Sustainable Development (GTZ), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID); Belgian, Italian, French, German, and Irish embassies; and nongovernmental organizations such as Save the Children, Merlin, and Entre-Aide (see types of sponsorship in Figure 2). These donors and NGOs have funded BTLs in countries where they have development projects. Funders purchase a BTL directly from the BTL management team in Geneva (E-mail: bluetrunk@who.int).

What would be really cool would be to be able to have corporate sponsors to send these libraries to areas in need...mot just organizations with development projects, but corporations with an interest in health issues, in women's issues, etc.
