Arid Lands Information Network

ALIN is a network of community development workers. Over 2,000 grassroots organizations, government departments and other organizations are ALIN members. ALIN works directly with local communities in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania in order to learn from their experiences and to share with them useful drylands farming methods and technologies developed elsewhere. ALIN uses a variety of communications tools (print, radio, Internet) and languages in its work.  The website contains links to numerous resources that ALIN has produced, including some in Ki-Swahilli and other African languages.
