What is LINGOs?

Created in 2005 as a means and community for organizations to share learning resources, LINGOs is continuously expanding as as more organizations become aware of the value of membership.

LINGOs also serves as a central contact point for private sector organizations and individuals interested in assisting the sector who want to see their contributions of software, courseware, systems and services be leveraged across many organizations. LINGOs’ Partners, learning leaders in the private sector, donate or subsidize access to their Learning Management Systems, eLearning development tools, synchronous, virtual classroom software, and industry-leading course catalogs through LINGOs to member agencies.

The LINGOs operated Learning Management System (LMS) contains hundreds of courses, both from our partners and shared by our member agencies, on Leadership and Management Development, Information Technology, Project Management, Stress Management for Humanitarian Workers, Personal Safety and other topics. LINGOs Member Agencies can access the content through custom branded portals or through a generic, pre-loaded portal depending on their level of membership.

By providing a community for sharing learning resources and experiences, and the latest learning technologies and courses from our partners, LINGOs helps international NGOs increase the skill levels of their employees and therefore increase the impact of their programs.

By providing us with the resources to learn (better, faster, cheaper), LINGOs has allowed our employees, teams, departments, and country affiliates to measurably improve performance that directly translates into increased health impact. LINGOs’ support was key to our implementing e-solutions.
