Online project management tools enhance productivity and transparency. Project management can easily become chaotic and not very efficient whether you are part of a team or of an organization. If you were planning to enhance remote collaboration, an Intranet or document management system was so far a good choice. Online project management tools go beyond that and allow decentralized collaboration between co-workers, thus project planning and implementation get more transparent and productive.

"This wiki is being developed into a resource for non-profit organisations in South Africa, giving insight into social media tools, and giving local examples of how these tools are being applied within this sector. The majority of this information stems from discussions and panels from the Sangonet '09 Conference held in Johannesburg and Cape Town in October. This wiki stems from workshops held in 2009 run by The African Commons Project in collaboration with Sangonet, providing training to NGOs on how to use social media to have conversations with their constituents and stakeholders. Thus, this wiki space includes the outline of the workshop, content, resources, and practical sessions attached to each workshop. "

"Online collaborative knowledge tool for and by non-governmental organisations in Africa. "

We give Citizen Philanthropists the ability to choose their project, leverage their social networks, and communicate directly with their partner community. We are also providing our field partners the tools they need to actively manage their projects so they can seamlessly share information with Citizen Philanthropists and directly report on the impact projects are having on the ground. Citizen Philanthropists are powerful community builders. They help their partners across the world build more self-reliant and sustainable communities. But they also build stronger communities here at home by bringing people together for a common cause and promoting civic engagement. We believe giving and community building should be a central part of everyone's life, not something left to weekends or annual drives.

Not sure if and how organizations can submit projects. I sent them an email regarding this issue, so hopefully I will have an update asap.

Just got an email back from Dan Morrison the CEO and Founder of Citizen Effect (quite impressed at the response time - 11 minutes). He says, "Hey Justin, we vet all of our partners so to post a project, you have to go through the due diligence and vetting process first. If you have a great group in mind, please let us know and put them on touch with us"
