The Millennium Project
for Public Libraries

literature and history and to offer programs to enhance the public's
appreciation of great American writing Funded by Carnegie Corporation
of New York, the Project is a partnership of the National Endowment
for the Humanities, The Library of America, and the American Library
Association.
New Americans Executive
Order of the State of Illinois
The Illinois New Americans Executive Order policy project is a partnership
between the State of Illinois and the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant
and Refugee Rights (ICIRR), to develop strategic recommendations
for how to best realize the potential contributions of immigrants
to the economic and social growth of the state. Cities, counties,
and states around the country are looking to the project as a model
as they develop immigrant integration strategies in their own localities.
Immigrant integration is a positive response to the heated debate
around federal immigration reform and a positive way to look at
the new immigrant and refugee neighbors who call America their home.
Programme for the Enhancement
of Research Information (PERI)
This is a program of the International Network for the Availability
of Scientific Publications (INASP) that is aimed at supporting partners
in developing and transitional countries to utilize new information
and communication technologies in the production, access and dissemination
of information and knowledge. INASP also sponsors a number
of library support programs.
U.S. Agency
for International Development (USAID) Office of Transition Initiatives
Out of both humanitarian concern and strategic interest in advancing
peaceful, democratic change around the world, USAID has embarked
on an exciting experiment to better address the tenuous interlude
between war and peace; to make foreign aid more responsive to opportunities
for transition. Under the leadership of former USAID Administrator
J. Brian Atwood, the Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) opened
its doors in 1994. It has worked in more than a dozen countries,
providing the U.S. government with fast, flexible, and innovative
tools for bringing peace-building ideas to life.
