What's New?

If you’re visiting OneWorld for the first time, you won’t have noticed, but we’ve just gone through a major network-wide change that will allow our editors and contributors to concentrate on bringing you the latest news, views and ways to participate in the global community working in human rights and sustainable development.

If you’re a OneWorld regular, you will of course have noticed some major changes, both in design and the way the sites – for the full list click here – are structured. So, what’s new, and what’s not around any more?

What's new?

New design and navigation
OneWorld has taken the opportunity of this new CMS to redesign most of its sites. This will give you, the user:
  • Improved accessibility, to W3C standards
  • A Crumbtrail to find your way through the site
  • Colour-coded sections
  • Quicker access to the content you’ve asked us for

We’ll let you discover this for yourself. But if you have any comments, please email us at justice@oneworld.net

User registration
We’re hoping this will be the beginning of a community on OW. Right now you can now register with OneWorld for the following added benefits:
  • Simple email subscription to our full range of products (sign up here)
  • Add comments to articles, where editors have invited this
  • Create a workspace

And later, this simple registration will allow you to:
  • Post events to our Events Calendar
  • Participate in global discussion forums
  • Receive special offers from OneWorld

We will, of course, respect your privacy and keep your information anonymous, and not share it with any other organizations unless you ask us to.

So, as a user, do you want to join OneWorld?

Country guides and volunteer editor project
OneWorld has launched its country guides, edited by people like you who have volunteered to add their journalistic skills and knowledge of country situations to the OneWorld collective. For more, visit our
Country Guides or if you want to volunteer, please send your CV to oveditors@oneworld.net

South East Europe portal, in four languages
Unimondo.org and OneWorld have launched the South East Europe Portal project, supported by Hivos and aiming to be the NGO Portal for the region, providing news, analysis, events and ways to participate in the traditional OneWorld model. You can visit the site in English at see.oneworld.net

Brand new Partner search
Our search tools now allow you to search quickly and accurately through the whole OneWorld network, or by each regional edition, or across the whole range of our 1500 NGO and Civil Society partner websites. Why don’t you try it out

Jobs
Yes, the OneWorld Jobs Service was there before. But we’ve improved it and expanded it across all the OneWorld regions. We’ve also maintained our working relationships and links with the leading NGO jobs and volunteering organizations to provide you a comprehensive list of jobs and opportunities in development and human rights worldwide. Are you looking for a job?

So that’s what’s new. But what’s not around any more?

What's gone?
Some of it was so bad we don’t want to talk about it! Well, that was mainly the criticisms from you of our “overloaded” site. The list below is a summary of stuff that you used to be able to find, and some of which we are taking offline for a while to fix and bring back to you over the next few months. If you need any information about any of these products, then please mail us

Gone for good
  • Bad design and navigation, "overloaded site"
  • Poor accessibility

Gone, but coming back
  • Topic guides
  • Think tanks
  • Photo gallery
  • Perspectives

Thanks.
