INFORMATION DISSEMNATION

The Organization utilizes five main mediums to disseminate information, namely, bringing out its publications, hosting its profile and activities on the website; active engagement in social media; providing Library and documentation services in the three official languages (Arabic, English, and French) and organizing online/offline training programmes.

During the triennium 2025-2027, it is proposed to further enrich contents and improve the quality of AARDO publications like Annual Report, Journal, Reports of technical activities by using the latest printing (digital) technologies and innovative designs. E-publishing, including e-circulation, has been initiated that is gradually phasing out print versions.

The AARDO Library – currently having 8,000 plus titles – will continue to source the latest books/reports and periodicals from various national/international organizations on subjects specifically relating to technical activities of the triennium and providing indexing, cataloguing and e-journals links services through the AARDO website. The Organization has converted most of its documents including publications, containing around 46000 pages, into e-format. This activity will continue during the triennium 2025-2027.

During the triennium, networking with rural development institutions, universities, research organizations, media houses – both electronic and print and AARDO’s Centres of Excellence would be further widened with a view of exchange information such as success stories or best practices, low-cost technologies, latest news and views, pictures, videos, etc., through the Internet and other means.
