We require online volunteers to help us translate 2 Nigerian case studies, from English to Igbo, and to help us proofread the translations.
The case studies are 7 and 8 pages long.
The case studies will be sent via email to the selected volunteers; and we hope to have them done by the first week of April. The translators will be acknowledged in the case studies they help translate.
Number of volunteers: 2
To continue this work, and further disseminate the best practices of Equator Prize winners, we have created our case study data base. Since most case studies are currently only in English, we are hoping to get all of them translated into the communities'local language(s).
General understanding of global development and environmental issues is important

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Equator Initiative is a partnership that helps recognize and advance local sustainable development solutions. The Equator Initiative accomplishes this through three action areas: the Equator Prize, awarded biennially; the Equator Dialogues, which are an ongoing series of community-driven meetings and exchanges, held in conjunction with related international forums, and Equator Knowledge, which is a research, documentation and learning program. The case studies are part of Equator Knowledge.OBJECTIVE
The Equator Initiative works with partners to identify, document, and analyze the success factors of local best practice, and to catalyze ongoing peer-to-peer learning, knowledge exchange and replication of best practice.To continue this work, and further disseminate the best practices of Equator Prize winners, we have created our case study data base. Since most case studies are currently only in English, we are hoping to get all of them translated into the communities'local language(s).
