Skal rammerne for de faglige ngo-netværk forblive uændrede? Skal prioriteringen af temaer varetages af NGO'erne selv eller skal denne opgave fortsat ligge i Danida-regi? Er nye samarbejdsformer en mulighed? Disse og mange andre spørgsmål er blevet stillet i den igangværende proces om netværkenes fremtid der bl.a. har som mål at producere et konkret forslag til opdateringen af Civilsamfundsstrategien. Som led i processen har konsulent Hanne Lund Madsen udarbejdet et studie for netværkene:   Networking: Current Modalities and Future Scenarios

Den 10. januar 2008 blev det sidste i en række af møder afholdt med deltagelse af repræsentanter fra alle de faglige netværk og NGO-Forum.

Oxfam Novib, KIT: What actually happens to organisations during gender and organisational change endeavours? This book presents seven field experiences of managing the politically sensitive agenda of promoting gender equality in NGOs, and negotiating the contradictions between using Organisational Development tools and promoting gender equality. It shows how organisational change for gender equality is an integral part of gender mainstreaming processes, and how the seven organisations in question, unable to separate entirely the internal change process from their external work as NGOs, experienced a spillover of gender justice concerns into their work in the field, with a variety of programme results.

World Economic Forum: The World Economic Forum has published its 2007 Global Gender Gap report. The report covers 128 countries and includes detailed profiles that provide insight into the economic, legal and social aspects of the gender gap in each country. The report measures the size of the gender gap in four critical areas of inequality between men and women: 1) economic participation and opportunity, 2) educational attainment, 3) political empowerment, and 4) health and survival.
