Devex is a social enterprise and media platform for the global development community. Devex aims to connect and inform development, health, humanitarian, and sustainability professionals through news, business intelligence, and funding & career opportunities in international development. A for-profit membership organization, Devex employs more than 100 staff members in four locations, including its Washington, D.C. headquarters and offices in Barcelona and Manila.〔http://www.devex.com〕 The organization’s web site serves as a clearing-house of business and recruiting information that allows interested parties to come together in service of thousands of foreign assistance projects worldwide. Devex has over 700,000 registered members within the international development community - including development organizations, donor agencies, suppliers and aid workers - the company claims more than 1 million active users. Devex’s President and Editor-in-Chief, Raj Kumar, began the organization in 2000 as a student project at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. Kumar’s goal was to lower the administrative costs of donor agencies so they could devote a greater share of resources to foreign-assistance projects themselves.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=Ashoka Changemakers )〕 “With $200 billion in foreign aid each year,” Kumar said in 2008, “a few percentage points of efficiency gains is like adding another Gates Foundation to the world.” ==Services== Devex uses content-sharing and social-networking tools to dramatically reduce the time and expense which international development professionals have typically had to devote to recruiting and information-gathering. The features offered on devex.com include a searchable database of over 600,000 professionals and a company directory listing more than 12,000 development companies. Devex also provides its members with information about projects being funded by over 350 bilateral and multilateral donor agencies. Its real-time intelligence on the development sector prompted the Washington Post to compare Devex to Bloomberg L.P.’s financial information service. At any given time, the site provides details on as many as 35,000 active projects in the developing world. Devex members receive several types of reports on these activities including: *Tender Reports consolidate specific procurement notices from over 150 donor agencies, which are posted on devex.com within 24 hours of their initial publication. *Project Reports provide information on opportunities presented as part of funding for specific aid projects or programs. *Early Intelligence Reports use interviews with agency representatives, government officials and other inside sources to provide Devex’s Executive Members with project information that has not yet been publicly released. *Business Insight Articles *Country Pipeline Strategy Reports 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Devex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
