African Society of
Human Genetics (http://www.afshg.org/index.html)
“The Society's aim is to equip the African scientific community
and policymakers with the information and practical knowledge they
need to contribute to the field of genetics research and to attract
global attention to the efforts of African scientists.”
Arab Organization for Industrialization
(AOI) (http://www.aoi.com.eg/)
Established in 1975 with the aim of building an industrial base
for the development of advanced military industries,
AOI employs about 18,000 highly qualified workers, who can carry out, design
and research projects for new products and solve production problems.
It possesses an advanced base of high - technological capabilities, and comprehensive
quality control systems which are periodically reviewed by governmental authorities
dealing with AOI.
EGE InfoNet: (Egyptian Genetic Engineering
Information Net) (http://www.egeinfonet.i8.com/)
"EGE InfoNet, the online service for Egyptian genetic engineering,
offers a road-map to the wealth of resources on the Internet
where Egyptian researchers of genetic engineering can access
documents and detailed information from a variety of sources.
The Egyptian Genetic Engineering Information Net provides searchable
resources: relevant news, vast number of publications, collection
of protocols, comprehensive glossary, and exciting range of information
on key aspects of genetic engineering."
Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority (http://www.egsma.gov.eg/)
Geological survey of Egypt (EGSMA), is one of the oldest in the world and the
first to be established in the whole Africa and Middle East, in the year 1896.
Its mission is to geologically map Egypt and to discover; explore and assess

The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) “is the oldest organization
dedicated to ending the worldwide arms race, achieving complete nuclear disarmament,
and avoiding the use of nuclear weapons for any purpose.” Whatever one’s
views are on its goals, a search of the site yields valuable information on a
country’s armament found only with difficulty elsewhere.
International Center for
Biosaline Agriculture (ICBA) (http://www.biosaline.org/)
"...ICBA arose from the realization that fresh water resources are overexploited
in much of the developing world and that other sources of water
must be made use of for further agricultural expansion....one source of such
water is saline water which has not been optimally utilized for irrigated agriculture.
ICBA was thus established to generate new knowledge and technology in saline
irrigated agriculture [and]
contribute to increased food and feed production...."
World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/)
The official site of the WHO offers text in English, French or Spanish on its
mission and health initiatives, programs and warnings world wide.
