TorqAid is a consultancy focusing in on community development and humanitarian aid in both Australia and overseas. Its mission is to provide a range of appropriate and targeted consultancy services, training courses and information to the Australian and overseas community development and aid communities. By doing this effectively, we believe we are contributing to improved standards of assistance both here in Australia and overseas. From early 2010, the TorqAid CEO, Chris Piper, joined the Foundation for Development Cooperation (FDC) - www.fdc.org.au as their Senior Training and Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Coordinator. The TorqAid website is therefore being re-vamped, so please bear with us for a week or two...... The monthly Australian Aid Resource & Training Guide (AARTG) is now being managed by the FDC, although links to this will continue to be made on this website. We will however now continue bringing out our monthly TorqAid Update which will make mention of the AARTG, and also highlight other interesting aid or community development issues. People can log in to receive these TorqAid Updates on the following site: http://www.torqaid.com/phplist/ Stop Press: On the 2nd Feb 2010, Chris prepared a publication relating to the challenges facing Haiti in its post-earthquake recovery response as described below. Some of you will find this interesting (others, probably not...)
