Positive feedback from Zimbabwe
"Peace Building and Capacity Development Foundation" (PACDEF) received 12 copies of the All In Diary in October.  All recipients are really satisfied with the content and unanimously comment that the diary makes work planning easier. The spaces for notes and activities are just what field workers need.
PACDEF staff who attended workshops in Mutare report that every participant wanted to know how they could get them.
Please accept our gratitude for giving us such diaries.  Thank you for such a wonderful and brilliant idea." 

Matimura Masango, Programmes Manager, PACDEF.

Are you looking for diary pages?
Evaluation of the All In Diary in 2008 highlighted that individual users have very different preferences for the layout and use of diary, personal organiser and planning tools. 

With this in mind, we did not produce standard diary pages for download in 2009.  Instead, we leave the choice up to you. 

Follow this link for guidelines on where to access diary, planner and calendar making tools so that you can design and download your own.
