Picks of the week: new aid blogs, aid resources and other indispensable stuff.

I finally had the time to clean up the link lists on the sidebar. I checked if the sites were still active, and updated. I also added a whole queue of new sites.
When browsing through the blogs, I realize what talent people expose in writing, pictures, drawings. I feel fortunate to be in such good company!

Here are my latest finds:

1. For the "aid resources"-section:
   
   • CIMA: To be honest with you, I have no clue why I added this to the "aidworker resources", but it looked like the right thing to do. Is a bit American, though.
   • Praecipio International: Some interesting stuff on early warnings around public health, especially in a humanitarian context. Is a bit American, though. 
   • Aid Transparency: No aidworker can resist a site with a title like that. 
   • AidWatch: Nothing to do with Bill Easterly, but call it the watchful eye on Aussie aid. Is a bit Aussie, though.
2. New aidworkers with a blog: 
• Innovation with Farmers: Wayne in Ghana
• On My Way Suvojit, also in Ghana.
• Penelope MC (Canada): from the Niapele Project
3. Some cool expat blogs:
• Sketches of Africa (Kenya/Uganda): comes with some surprises. Read this Audio Archaeology post
• Stood in the Masaai Mara(Kenya): I have been following this blog for the longest time (used to be "Stoodinthecongo". Great pics and hilarious lines.
• Roving Bandit (Sudan): An economist's blog with a twist 
• Nick Wadhams (Kenya): a reporter based in Nairobi gives his view on things.
• Uncornered Market (World): a journal of world travellers. Has some great photography, and simple videos.
• Scarlett Lion: used to be Ugandan Scarlett Lion. An inspiration when I started blogging 3 years ago.
