   Extractions: Blair Government Meets International NGOs September, 1997 During Earth Summit +5 at the UN, WEDO Executive Director Susan Davis was among a dozen international NGO representatives who met Tony Blair, the U.K.'s new Labour Prime Minister, and Clare Short, the new head of the Overseas Development Agency. Ms. Davis spoke to the Prime Minister about the relationship of gender equality to sustainable development and the U.K. government's commitment to implementing the Beijing Platform for Action at home and abroad. Articulating Labour's commitments on British overseas development assistance, Short emphasized the importance of a gender analysis in eradicating poverty. She said it would take a few years for the full impact of Labour's new directions to be felt, but "business as usual is over." Back to September 1997 Contents

   Extractions: Executive Director, Global Policy Forum June 2000 Organizations like Oxfam, Greenpeace, Amnesty International and thousands of others serve the public on a national and international scale. Known variously as "private voluntary organizations," "civil society organizations," and "citizen associations," they are increasingly called “NGOs,” an acronym that stands for "non-governmental organizations." The United Nations system uses this term to distinguish representatives of these agencies from those of governments. While many NGOs dislike the term, it has come into wide use, because the UN system is the main focus of international rule-making and policy formulation in the fields where most NGOs operate. Charitable and community organizations, separate from the state, have existed in many historical settings, but NGOs are primarily a modern phenomenon. With the extension of citizenship rights in Europe and the Americas in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, people founded increasing numbers of these organizations, as instruments to meet community needs, defend interests or promote new policies. The French writer Alexis de Toqueville emphasized the importance of what he called “political associations” as institutions of democracy, uniquely numerous and influential in the United States at the time of his famous visit in 1831. New legal rules for private corporations, emerging at this same time, provided modern juridical authority for the organizations and increased their defenses against state interference.

   Extractions: Supporting NGOs is a priority goal of REC-Budapest. This support, however, would be ineffective without constructive and cooperative relationships with national governments in CEE. We assume that REC-Budapest represents a good model of how to facilitate a participatory approach in environmental decision-making and to stimulate a bottom-up approach in environmental initiatives. These considerations are taken as key assumptions in assessing the needs of central governments and regional and local authorities. The needs of governmental agencies that have jurisdictional responsibility for formulating and executing environmental policy at different levels are by and large similar in all countries of the CIS. However, the balance of power between different levels and branches of government can vary. One must differentiate clearly between the needs of environmental authorities as they represent the public interest, and the institutional needs of governmental bodies as they represent the political and administrative interests of the institutions themselves. In summarizing the needs, this analytical report discusses several types of needs. First, it details a country's priority needs. Second, it reviews the needs a NREC could address effectively. For example, while a country may have a critical need to undertake a costly environmental remediation project or build a waste water treatment facility, a NREC would not undertake such expensive projects. This report pays particular attention to government needs entailing public participation and government-NGO relations. Finally, the needs that the countries have in common are discussed. These shared needs prove important for this report since the probability exists that other countries in the CIS face similar needs. The reader should bear this in mind when reading the country discussions.

   Extractions: NGO's Durban Conference 2001 UN-HRC ... Defensive Shield/Jenin The Montreal-based organization Alternatives demonstrates the ease with which NGOs can contradict their own stated objectives by obscuring contexts and distorting facts. This NGO claims that it "meets the needs and responds to the demands of progressive Canadians, and tries to create a more equitable and sustainable world for all." In response to these objectives, it has won partial funding from the Canadian International Development Agency through its NGO Project Facility http://www.acdi-cida.gc.ca/ngo/npf . Yet the group engages in a wide variety of highly unbalanced and politicized activities both within Canada and abroad. Rather than "truly mirror(ing) the expectations of all Canadians," the organization’s focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict reveals an extreme approach. Alternatives’ activities fall under the two broad categories of domestic advocacy and overseas projects. The former includes articles published in Canada through the organization’s newsletter and on its website, both designed as clearinghouses for progressive thought and opinion. The latter includes partnerships and funded projects outside of Canada, including projects based in the Palestinian Territories.

She claims that Ford has taken steps to ensure its funds no longer go to "groups that promote or condone bigotry or violence, or that challenge the very existence of legitimate, sovereign states like Israel." The highly politicized work of Habitat International Coalition (HIC), and the fact that the Ford Foundation, along with a number of other European funding agencies, continues to provide funding, confirms the urgency of Berresford making good on her pledge. HIC describes itself as "an independent, international, nonprofit movement of some 400 organizations and individuals working to support campaigns for housing rights." The movement is "coordinated geographically" by way of regional focal points, and maintains offices in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East/North Africa (MENA), and North America. HIC is financed by a "consortium of funders who shares HIC's objectives," including the ICCO, Ford Foundation and Carl Duisberg Gesellschaft.

The purpose of this mission was to recommend ways for Angolan and international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to promote reconciliation in Angola as part of the postwar peace process. Much has been written about the mediation of peace accords, the creation of peace agreements, the management of international intervention, and the deployment of peacekeeping forces. But little attention has been given to the process of reconciliation, the mending of broken relationships, and the rebuilding of societies so that peace can be sustained.

    Extractions: Page In January 2001, following a year of preparatory work in CNNO working groups and many consultations with the Budget Committee of the Czech Parliament, the Czech Government approved Decision No. 12/2001 on the Procedure by which the Remaining Assets Set Aside for the Foundation Investment Fund shall be Distributed in the Second Stage (to Foundations). Actually, this represents an open tender, in which a special commission shall choose from registered and applying foundations those to which another portion (and probably the last one) of assets in the amount of about CZK 2,000,000,000 shall be distributed to become a part of their registered endowment and/or partially (not more the 15 percent of the contribution) directly redistributed according to current granting regulations of each foundation. The sum of allocated evaluation points shall be the main supportive evidence for the final recommendation of the plenary of the CNNO as regards the amount of assets to be allocated to a foundation or whether there shall be no allocation at all. It is assumed, that the minimal assignment should be CZK 10,000,000. In the case of too many applicants, this may limit the list of those who will be assigned a contribution. Accordingly, those foundations who did not receive enough evaluation points may not receive any funds. However, in general, this limit may support a reasonably uneven distribution among about 120 foundations. We must wait for the result of the tender to see if this is the case.

    Extractions: Roger Bate JOHANNESBURG, South Africa , Aug. 30 (UPI) The head of UNAIDS , Peter Piot, is angry the discussion of the AIDS pandemic is so low on the agenda of the World Summit for Sustainable Development and that African ministers are so lukewarm to the issue. He was expected to tell WSSD delegates Friday night he is annoyed by the lack of government action on controlling acquired immune deficiency syndrome on the African continent. Piot has been working, meanwhile, with non-governmental organizations and business groups to deliver AIDS relief and says he will consider spending a good portion of the UNAIDS $2 billion Global Fund on AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis on corporate programs, an idea unthinkable even three years ago. Piot Friday is to launch the latest UNAIDS report "HIV/AIDS: Human Resource and Sustainable Development" and he hopes it will generate interest among African ministers, who he says appear "lukewarm on the subject." The only significant mention of AIDS during the summit plenary session was made by Nitin Desai, WSSD secretary-general, in his opening speech. In the corridors, however, the question being asked is: "How can Africa develop sustainability without controlling the AIDS pandemic?"

    Extractions: Uribe calls human rights groups, among other things, "spokesmen for terrorism" and "politickers of terrorism." He challenges them to "take off their masks ... and drop this cowardice of hiding their ideas behind human rights." Uribe's speech distinguishes between serious human rights groups and "politickers," but fails to explain how he makes this distinction. Text of Uribe's speech ( While some of Uribe's advisors and supporters had faced criticism for making similar unsubstantiated and dangerous statements, Uribe himself had avoided using such language during his campaign and during his first year in office. In fact, his government's "Democratic Security" document, released in June 2003, emphasizes the need to "protect opposition political leaders and dissidents, thereby securing the democratic framework and possibilities for citizen participation." A July 2003 Defense Ministry directive instructs members of the security forces "to abstain from making unfounded declarations that could threaten the safety of union leaders or human rights defenders."

    Extractions: @import "/production/css/secondary.css"; Home Justice... Take Action Beads of Hope See Also United Church Continues to urge government to fix Bill C-9 April 20, 2004 Print Version At a joint United Church of Canada and KAIROS appearance before the House of Commons Industry Committee on March 9, 2004 we commended the government for making Canada the first developed country to introduce legislation to facilitate the export of generic medicines to developing countries with insufficient manufacturing capacity. This legislation could make a significant contribution to providing affordable medicines to many of the 14 million people who die each year from treatable, infectious diseases, including 6 million who die from AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Generic medicines sell for about one-fifth of the cost of their brand-name equivalents. During our testimony on March 9 we identified four serious flaws that needed to be rectified before Bill C-9 is passed. Amendments to the Bill tabled by the governing Liberal Party members to be discussed by the Industry Committee on Tuesday, April 20, go part way towards making the changes we and other Non-Governmental Organizations demanded. First of all the government is to be commended for removing the "right of refusal" clause that would have given brand-name pharmaceutical companies an opportunity to scoop up contracts that had been negotiated between generic drug manufacturers and developing country importers. This is a welcome and significant change. However, new proposals relating to the prices of generic products are a concern, not because they might keep down the prices of generic medicines, but because they might lead to prolonged litigation or even to the revocation of authorizations to produce generic medicines. Moreover, these measures are not required by World Trade Organization (WTO) rules.

    Extractions: National governments bear the responsibility for protecting their citizens from the spread of the HIV epidemic and of mitigating its worst effects once it has spread. But they are not alone in the effort. Bilateral and multilateral donors have provided both leadership and major funding for national AIDS prevention programs, especially in the poorer developing countries. And both local and international nongovernmental organizations have stepped forward to help against the epidemic, sometimes prodding reluctant governments into action. Most of the National Response Is Funded by Donors The total amount of donor funding for AIDS was estimated at approximately $300 million in 1996. The largest contributor of new funds in that year was the United States ($117 million); the European Union ($55 million) and Japan ($40 million) provided the next largest amounts of grant funding, and the World Bank provided approximately $45 million in new loan commitments that year, most of which was at concessional rates. This seemingly large amount of money is, however, only about 6 percent of total donor health assistance to developing countries. Nevertheless, since AIDS expenditures represent a substantial fraction of total public spending on health in some developing countries, observers have asked whether too large a proportion of health resources is devoted to AIDS in these countries relative to other health problems.

    Extractions: Consuelo Katrina A. Lopa Lopa is currently doing freelance research and writing. She was Project Coordinator of a Philippine non-governmental organization, the Gaston Z. Ortigas Peace Institute, working on the Project on the Legacies of the Marcos Dictatorship from 1999 to 2002. Prior to working on the Legacies Project, Ms. Lopa was Coordinator of Philippine Development NGOs for International Concerns (PHILINK), from August 1990 to June 2000. In recent years, official development assistance (ODA) agencies have been increasingly exploring avenues for supporting community development initiatives more directly. The result has been the creation of a diversity of new funding channels, many of them involving NGOs, both in the host and donor countries. Little analysis has been conducted, however, of what has been working, including the how and why, and few attempts have been made to share examples more widely. This paper seeks to address this gap by looking at the case of the Philippines in detail and follows on the general overview of ODA-NGO collaboration presented by David Winder in his paper Options for Financial Sustainability: Collaboration Between Civil Society and Development Agencies in Southeast Asia Various stakeholders in the Philippine development community have warmly received the practice of NGO management of ODA. NGO management of ODA funds transfers traditional decision-making powers over allocation and use of funds, from donor representatives and host government agencies to collegial bodies comprised of or influenced by NGO representatives. This paper explores this rise of Philippine NGOs in managing ODA, looking at the different forms of NGO-managed mechanisms and challenges and opportunities for NGOs and ODA agencies moving forward.

    Extractions: The State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) will begin reviewing proposals from non-government organizations (NGOs) to provide humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan, according to a PRM fact sheet released February 11. PRM's funding for NGOs in Afghanistan will focus on reintegration assistance for Afghan returnees; emergency relief for Afghan refugees who arrived within the last 2 years; and assistance to old-caseload refugees, according to the fact sheet. The PRM guidelines, intended to help NGOs prepare proposals, are listed in "FY2003 PRM Guidelines for NGO Projects: Emergency Relief for Afghan Refugees and Returnees." Although PRM relies on the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and other international organizations to provide humanitarian assistance to refugees and returnees, it also provides direct funding to a number of NGO programs "to fill critical gaps," said the fact sheet. "The U.S. Government," said the fact sheet, "has consistently been the leading donor of humanitarian assistance to Afghans and provided over $530 million in fiscal year 2002 alone." PRM, which has the lead role within the State Department for responding to humanitarian emergencies, "contributed over $145 million for programs benefiting Afghan refugees, returnees, internally displace persons (IDPs), and conflict victims," the fact sheet added.
