What's New

Welcome to Pact's Resources Center. Pact is committed to sharing with the development community the best of our field–produced training materials, handbooks, tools and guides. Often, when we start up a new project, we wish someone would put in our hands the best field–tested materials available. Instead we find ourselves recreating the wheel. Do you too? We hope the resources we present here will shorten your search while enabling you to build on the experience we have had. Please take full advantage of these resources and check back often for updates to this collection.
