Sources regularly covered on ecoi.net for countries of priority E

The following list contains all sources regularly covered by our team for country priority E. ecoi.net covers more than 160 sources regularly. Depending on their publication cycle, some sources are covered daily (like BBC World News, IRIN or Amnesty International), others weekly (like UNHCR, Forum 18 or the International Crisis Group), and some others once a month (like CEDAW, the Congressional-Executive Commission on China or the Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit). Countries of priority E, however, receive restricted coverage, with only the most important reports added, and nearly no daily coverage.

Not all sources are covered for all countries to the same extent. To learn more about or country priorities, please see: Our Country Priorities.

  • PressR = Appeals and News Releases (usually from NGOs)
  • Media = Media Reports
  • Pos = Expert Opinions and Positions
  • Res = Query Responses (from COI units)
