ABoUTFAWE The Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) is a partnership of African women cabinet ministers, women vice chancellors of universities and other senior women policy makers who assume leadership for education planning and implementation in their countries. As at December 1996 there were 48 full members from 27 African countries, 20 male associate members and 22 ational Chapters. FAWE was founded in 1992 and registered in Kenya as a pan-African NGO in 199J. FAWE activit.ies are coordinated by a small Secretariat based in Tairobi. FA WEts mission is to help ensure that women and girls are an integral part of the intellectual and technical resource base needw for tbt survival and prosperity of Africa. The goal is to close the gender gap in education. FAWE uses its forum as an imellecrual resource base to a5IiiIIt. in the development of national capabilities to evolve, try out and improve strategies with the potential to accelerate female paroctpaDDII cation, move toward the realisation of Education For All (EF A) and achieve gender equity in education. FAWE's programme activities help Forum members to analyse, plan, guide and implement investment in tilt rducat::i«xl gender imbalances. The work programme encompasses three focused lines of work: Fortification of FA WE membership md _a , Strategic resource planning; Strengthening female leadership at the tertiary level; .and three areas that CUt across thew Iiacs of Experimentation and demonstration; Advocacy, information and dissemination; Building and strengthening MtwOrU for ~ FAWE operates through National Chapters and in partnership with local, national, regional and International org;rnis,,.....,, Acunnes are supported by a wide range of donor partners and concerned individuals.

1ETIER FROM THE CHAIR Dear Friends of FAWE, On behalf of the entire FAWE membership it is my pleasure and privilege to present this Annual Report for 1996. This has been a challenging year for FAWE. We met in our third General Assembly in]uly, forged new and dynamic partnerships for girls' education, and saw our growth at the national level expand from '9 to 22 National Chapters. The vibrancy witnessed in '996 is the fulfillment of a dream. Way back in 1992, five African women ministers of education were concerned about the slow pace at which their countries were moving toward the goals of Education for All. They recognized that in order to meet those goals attention had to be paid to the issues and constraints surrounding the education of girls and women. This core group formed the nucleus of FAWE-a network of senior policy makers in education, an umbrella organization that could identify the crucial issues, generate new thinking on how to

tackle the problems, explore and disseminate best practice from within the region and interna-

tionally, and identify innovative ways in which countries in sub-Saharan Africa were already tackling the obstacles. FAWE members and associates are women and men who have made the conscious decision that besides doing their normal work as ministers, deputy ministers, vice c~ancellors, deputy vice chancellors, permanent secretaries and eminent educationalists, they will also commit their status, their knowledge, their time and energy to addressing obstacles to girls' education. Only heartfelt commitment could have achieved the results we have seen to date. And only determination and hard work will overcome the constraints that remain. I wish to express deep appreciation to the donor partners who have supported this dream, for it is a dream they share. I also wish to recognize the National Chapters for enthusiastically embracing the dream, and the members of the Executive Committee and the Technical Committee for their participation and steadfastness. And I salute the staff of the Secretariat for their tireless service to all FAWE members and activities across the continent; their energy and dedication are a critical component of our successes so far. It is the combined efforts of all of these, plus governments, non-government organizations and other stakeholders, that have enabled FAWE to extend its outreach in so many significant ways this year-and to plan confidently to meet the challenges that lie ahead in helping girls to get to school and stay in school.

1996 - A YEAR' OF OUTREACH EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT - THE GIRLS KNOW IT This simple, poignant statement, which forms the title of FAWE's award-winning documentary film, sums up the focus of FAWE activities for 1996-reaching out to gitls. Girls who want to go to school. Girls who want to stay in school. Girls who want the most and the best from their education because they know that education is the key to their future and to the future of Africa. For FAWE, then, r996 was a year of outreach. Outreach through the media, through policy makers, through African education NGOs and international organisations, and through its own National Chapters. These individuals and institutions form the mosaic of FAWE's ever-growing network. Each had an important part to play in the year's activities. And each in its own way sought to make equal access to education a reality for African girls. This portion of the annual report details FAWE's significant achievements in r996, through the elements of the FAWE network. The section also highlights the tools FAWE uses to facilitate outreach.

THROUGH FAWE NATIONAL CHAPTERS The National Chapters are FAWE's front line in the struggle for better educational opportunities for girls and women. The chapters reach directly into communities, extending outreach, promoting interaction at all socio-economic levels-with individuals, groups, institutions, governments-and placing female education on the national agenda.

New chapters There are National Chapters in 22 of the 27 FAWE member countries. This represents tremendous growth over the last three years, from two chapters in r992 and 15 in 1995Âˇ Four new chapters were launched in 1996-Benin, Nigeria, Tan2ania and Zambia-and the chapters in Benin and Kenya were formally registered. Groundwork was laid for the chapters in Namibia, South Africa and Uganda. The Benin National Chapter officially got undetway in February with 20 members mainly from the education sector. In Zambia, the 8 March launch was a colourful occasion attended by government officials and representatives from nongovernment organisations. The Nigeria Chapter was officially launched in July in a well attended ceremony that included former Nigerian federal ministers of education. The National Chapter in Tanzania got its official start in September during a seminar in Dodoma for 150 participants drawn from members of parliament, women educationalists and other dignitaries.

Mobilisation of local resources One reflection ofthe strength of the National Chapters is their ability to forge partnerships and mobilize human, material and financial resources at the national level to sustain their activities. The track record is impressive, amounting to a value of over USS3 million in 1996 and enabling the chapters to leverage programme funds from an array of international donor partners, including UNFPA, NORAD, CNICEF, CSAID and the government of the Netherlands. The Burkina Faso Chapter secured support from the Netherlands ro expand an education programme for girls out of school (a FA\X'E demonstration grant activity). The Ghana Chapter has support from UNICEF Ghana and DANIDA. The French Ministty of Education provIded funds for the Guinea Chapter to print The ABC of Gender AnalysIs in French. The Zambia Chapter mobilized funds from the

etherlands,

NORAD, l ,\;ESCO and CNFPA. FAWE S,erra Leone acquired funds from the

Japanese Embasoy to assist in the establishment of a National Skills Development complex for girl-mothers. National governments as well provided a range of assistance, from personnel to office space and equipment. FAWE also provides financial support to lational Chapters through a variety of channels: a basic planning grant of CSS8,ooo; the Agathe Uwilingiyimana Award; and the demonstration and innovation grant, which is given on a competitive basis. To date nine National Chapters have received demonstration grants. Draft guide-

The Agathe Uwilingiyimana Awards The Agathe Uwilingiyimana Award, given in recognition of innovative achievement in female education in Africa, honours the memory of the late Prime Minister of Rwanda, assassinated in 1994, who was a FAWE founding member. The award is a US$6,000 grant, 60 percent of which goes toward enhancing the project activities

and 40 percent to the initiator of the project. The Award is administered by National Chapters. The first three Agathe Uwilingiyimana Awards were presented in '996, to winners in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi. The award ceremony climaxed the General Assembly in July. The Materi Girls' Centre in Meru, Kenya, was cited for innovation in linking the school and the communiry. The centre has adopted an integrated approach to promote girls' education, from nursery school and a boarding upper-primary school, to secondary school and vocational training for secondary school leavers. The centre offers professional training. The Ghana award was given to the Teenage Mothers' Centre, Abiriw (Akwapim), which ensures safe motherhood for unmarried pregnant girls and promotes child survival and continuous breast-feeding. The centre

also equips teenage mothers with incomegenerating and life skills. The most significant achievement of the centre is that it is changing societal attitudes towards pregnant teenagers and integrating these teenage mothers into the rural communities. The Theatre for Development project in Malawi is a novel endeavour that draws on the expertise of students in the Department of Fine and Performing Arts at the Universiry of Malawi. The

The FA WE song, "Send Your Girl-Child to School'; was tramlated into Kiswahili, Lingala, Malinke, Fulani, Xhosa and Zulu. The Ethiopia National Chapter adapted the song into ten Ethiopian languages with assistance from USA/D. The Ghana Chapter adapted the pop-video for national advocacy and the song is being used as the centrepiece ofa social marketing campaign for rural Kenya.

students undergo training in participatory research methodologies and use their dayto-day village experiences in drama performances. Participatory theatre provides the catalyst for meaningful dialogue on issues affecting girls in rural Malawi, such as initiation and other traditional practices and beliefs. Students and villagers alike gain a deeper understanding of complex cultural patterns and practical life situations. The Guinea Chapter plans to complete its selection process for the Agathe Uwilingiyirnana Award in early '997. Four countries were selected for the next round-Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Sierra Leone and Zambia.

OTHER CHAPTER ACTIVITIES Other examples of outreach through National Chapters include the girls' school established by the Sierra Leone Chapter, essay contests in Zambia, policy analysis and monitoring in Uganda, gender sensitization in Seychelles, and even further outreach through provincial sub-chapters in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Zambia. In '996, FAWE also completed and disseminated Institutionalizing FAWE

Concerns, a publication that sketches each National Chapter and its activities. The publication will be updated as necessary to accommodate new chaptets and development of existing ones.

Francophone bureau FAWE's presence in French-speaking Africa took on a new dimension with the establishment of the francophone bureau based in Conakry, Guinea. The main task of the bureau is to develop a strategy for FAWE's activities in advocacy and public information in the sub-region. Among the first assignments were a case study on "Girls' Education and the Media in Senegal" and dissemination of the targeted handout for headteachers in public primary schools in Guinea. The bureau also assisted the FAWE Ghana Chapter to facilitate a media workshop held in May where the Ghanian version of the video pop song "Send your GirlChild to School" was launched.

THROUGH POLICY MAKERS Decisions about resource allocation are made at the national policy level, but have implications that reach all the way down into the smallest community and forward into the future. This is why FAWE considers direct interaction at the policy level to be of crucial importance. The future of girls' education in Africa depends on it. FAWE members--policy makers themselves-playa strategic role in outreach to other policy makers. They work tirelessly to sensitize their governments to the need for the articulation and implementation of gender sensitive policies. In 1996 particular emphasis was placed on resource allocation that reduced costs at the household level to make it easier for parents to send their girls to school.

Strategic Resource Planning FAWE is convinced that a more judicious mix and application of existing resources can have significant positive impact on girls' education. A major achievement in 1996 was the creation of a formal partnership among African ministries of education and funding agencies that focuses on strategic resource planning to increase and improve the use of resources for education, particularly for girls. This partnership, now referred to as Girls' Education: Partnership for Strategic Resource Planning (SRP) in Africa, was articulated at a round-table consultation in Dublin in March under the auspices of the Association for the Development of Education in Africa's Working Group on Female Education. In December, FAWE

and EDI co-convened a consultation in Washington, D.C., that finalized the pannership, mandated a joint FAWEIED I secretariat and created a trust fund. The Washington meeting brought together 36 panicipants, including ministers of education and officials from 6 African countries and representatives of 8 funding agencies. On the ground, pilot studies in resource re-allocation were completed in Ethiopia, Tanzania and Guinea and in December Ethiopia convened a national seminar to disseminate the results of its study. The seriousness and commitment with which governments are taking this initiative is evidenced by the participatory nature of Ethiopia's dissemination seminar. Participants were drawn from each region of the country and included representatives from NGOs. They were encouraged to speak in Amharic to facilitate discussion. Recommendations on policy options to cut costs and enhance qualiry were debated and discussed in great detail. Recommendations for abolition of school fees at the primary level, flexibiliry of timetables and strategies for reducing cultural impediments to schooling were adopted unanimously for implementation at the national, zonal and communiry levels. Other suggestions, such as provision of incentives for needy girls and multi-grade classes, were accepted with minor amendments. School feeding programmes and provision of child-care options and compulsory primary education were thought to require further debate. Some of the recommendations are already being implemented in some provinces. Guinea and Tanzania have scheduled their dissemination seminars for February and April 1997, respectively, a process that will be supported by FAWE and the Economic Development Institute CEDI) of the World Banle A regional dissemination seminar is planned for June r997 in Kampala, Uganda, hosted by the Minister of Education, Uganda, Hon. Amanya Mushega. At the seminar, findings from the pilot countries will be disseminated and new countries selected. TOO L S

Follow-up to the 1994 Ministerial Consultation held in Mauritius continued in 1996. At the .request of the participating associate members, FAWE engaged a consultant to work with the ministries of education in Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique and Zanzibar to develop proposals for each country to study school drop-out rates, especially of girls, and to investigate the problem of adolescent pregnancy. The studies will begin in early 1997 and are expected by mid-year to yield concrete policy options.

In 1996. the FAWE film. These Girls Are Missing. was awarded the Golden Eagle Cine Award. The same film had won the Chicago Award in 1995. A new and shorter version. Education is Important - The Girls Know It. was launched during the General Assembly and disseminated to the National Chapters and members. Both films were reviewed by the Collaborative Centre for Gender and Development. which will also be invoived in

the dissemination process. FAWE commissioned a consultant to facilitate a brainstorming workshop on educational issues in Sao Tome and Principe at the request of the Minister of Education, Youth and Sports, who is an associate member. The workshop identified critical issues to be addressed in

1997, ranging from training of pre-school teachers and creation of post-primary centres for pupils who are unable to follow general education, to revision of secondary school curricula and creation of specific outlets for girls.

Safety and security of girls tn school The issue of safety and security of girls in school was brought to the fore as one of the themes of the African Conference on the Empowerment of Women through Functional Literacy and the Education of the Girl-Child, held in Kampala, Uganda, in September. The conference was sponsored by the Organisation of Mrican Unity and the government of Uganda. FAWE presented papers on safety and security for girls in school; alternative approaches in education; and functional literacy: a path to empowerment. The conference noted with deep concern that education for girls and functional literacy for women are still severely constrained throughout Africa mainly due to customary attitudes, lack of political will, limited resources, gender-biased teaching, and the lack of a safe and supportive learning environment. The Kampala Declaration and Framework for Action reaffirmed the need to strengthen ministries of education to ensure safety and security of girls in school.

FA WE General Assembly FAWE members are policy makers in their own right and their meeting in General Assembly is arguably one of the most extraordinary gatherings of expertise, commitment and clout on the continent-if not in the world. The third FAWE General Assembly was held in Kenya on 25-27 July and attended by 80 percent of FAWE's 48 core members. Representatives of active ational Chapters, technical committee members, associate members, donor partners and media practitioners also attended the Assembly as observers. The theme of the General Assembly was Girls' Education in Africa: Tramlating Policy into Aaion. Members focused on strides made in closing the gender gap in the past three years and strategies for accelerating the process for the future. Of particular importance was the impact of cost of education on female under-enrolment and under-achievement. The Assembly's conclusion was that FAWE's role remains crucial and its mandate is still strategic. The Assembly called on FAWE members to remain at the forefront in moving the girls' education agenda forward, on National Chapters to maintain their strategic role in the implementation of the FAWE mandate, and on FAWE to continue to create new partnerships and strengthen existing ones. The Assembly also requested donor partners to provide sustained suppott to activities at regional and national levels. The General Assembly elected a new Executive Committee representing all the regions with a good mix of ministerial and university based members and conducted a round-table discussion with donor partners during which the partners pledged their continued support. Presentation of the first three Agathe Uwilingiyimana Awards concluded the assembly.

THROUGH THE AFRICAN EDUCATION NETWORK FAWE collaborates with more than 40 non-government organisations working in education in Africa. Some are branches or programmes of international agencies,

some are whoUy indigenous. All are deeply committed to improving educational opportunities for girls. The African education network also includes the array of tertiary education institutions across the continent.

Non-government organisations FAWE grant support permitted the Kenya Alliance for the Advocacy of Children's Rights to mount a campaign to promote the importance of girls' education. KAACR conducted a series of seminars involving boys, girls and parents, developed booklets on child marriage and how parents can support girls' education, and produced and distributed a poster on a code of conduct for boys. The group also established role model clubs for needy girls to provide inspiration for girls and their families. Boys who have been involved in the programme have committed themselves to help out with household chores

cials and other parties to examine ways of extending benefits of education to girls in rural areas and of involving local communities in decision making. The seminar was supported by FAWE. FAWE also sponsored the participation of five rural women from the Kenya Adult Learners' Association (KALA) in a workshop on adult education in Harare.

Tertiary institutions FAWE's university-based members met in]u1y to develop an action to strengthen leadership at the tertiary level. Proposed activities, which will be implemented by FAWE members and National Chapters, fall under three main areas-policy and research, strengthening leadership, and supporting networking and skills development. Among the activities is the development of a FAWE national score card for universities to provide baseline data on female participation in academic and management areas in tertiary institutions. The idea is to build a proftle of women professional staff in government, private sector and universities. Another national score card tracks the indictors of development in education generally. The South Africa Chapter completed this score card in t996.

FAWE will also work with the Africa-Wide Gender Institute (AGI), based at the University of Cape Town, which became operational in 1996, to implement the activities. The board, on which FAWE is represented, is now installed and a selection committee appointed. The institute will offer research associateships beginning in early 1997. FAWE National Chapters have been asked to nominate candidates for these associateships.

Other regional activities There were many regional workshops, conferences and missions in which FAWE participated or sponsored participants in 1996: • The Women and Management in Higher TOOLS

PUBLICATIONS Two booklets of girls' opinions ond thoughts. Our Thoughts in Our Voices and With a Song in Our Hearts, were published in 1996. They were distributed through the Notional Chapters and other channels. Drafts of two more items in the series Proflies of Women Achievers were completed. FAWE member Elizabeth Masiga. who was featured in one of the profiies. is now the permanent secretory in the Ministry of Education in Kenya. Also in 1996 FAWE compiled the educationrelated provisions of the African and Global (Beijing) Platforms for Action into a summary document entitled Beyond Beijing. The purpose of the document is to provide a reference for NGOs in the education sector in Africa.

Education Workshop convened by the Commonwealth Secretariat in collaboration with the African-Wide Gender Institute and held in Cape Town in May. • The CEPARRED seminar on Economic and Policy Analysis in African Education: Assessment of the Current Centuty, in Abidjan in December. FAWE presented a paper entitled "A Review of the Recent and Current Macroeconomic Reforms and Their Impact on Households and the Disttibution of, and Access ro, Education". • A gender training and sensitization mission ro South Africa in July and a workshop at the conference on Gender and Education: The Role of niversities in Mainstrearning Gender in Development, in Ocrober in South Africa. • The World Bank Sub-Regional Consultation on Girls' Education for Franco-phone Africa held in Abidjan in June. • A goodwill and exploration mission ro Rwanda in July.

THROUGH INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS FAWE's growing strength lies in its ability ro link various social, political, technical and administrative acrors at the intemationallevel. Of particular importance is the close collaboration with the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) and other relevant groups working in education.

ADEA-related activities FAWE is actively involved in the ADEA Working Group on Female Participation (WGFP), which is convened by the Rockefeller Foundation. The WGFP subcommittee on Girls in Science and Mathematics is convened by NORAD through the Female Education in Mathematics and Science (FEMSA) project. FEMSA focuses on profiling girls' participation and achievement in science, mathematics and

technology (SM'I) in four countries, Cameroon, Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda. FAWE sits on the project committee and manages the project's finances. In other ADEA activities FAWE fmanced gender-sensitization activities under the ADEA Working Group on the Teaching Profession's Teacher Management and Support (TMS) programme, participated in the international consultative meeting to set up a Working Group on Informal Education within the ADEA in Africa held in February in Dakar, and collaborated with UNICEF in the implementation of the UNICEF-initiated Alliance for Community Action on Female Education. FAWE also sponsored five participants from francophone member countries to a subregional workshop for women statisticians on Education Statistics and Indicators.

Other international associations In other international events FAWE: • Presented papers at the "Education for All: Achieving the Goal" mid-decade review meeting of the International Consultative Forum on Education for All, held in Amman, Jordan, in June. FAWE also participated in the francophone and anglophone Education For All review meetings. • Participated in the INZET Conference on the 2Oho Initiative in September in Amsterdam. FAWE's presentation highlighting the possible lack of awareness of the provisions of the zoho Initiative by African countries led to support for a follow-up meeting of African ministers on the Initiative. • Presented a paper on Women and Basic Education in sub-Saharan Africa at the meeting of European Union education Gas. held in Brussels. • Participated in the GASAT Conference in India in January 1996. FAWEMA, the FAWE National Chapter in Malawi, was asked to host the GASAT Africa Conference in August 1997. • Delivered the keynote address at the NORAD, Norwegian Commission for UNESCO and the Ministry of Education Conference of

orwegian

Educationalists, held in October in Oslo.

THROUGH THE MEDIA In the increasingly liberalized economic and political climate sweeping across Africa, the print and broadcast media are emerging as dynamic forums for public education. FAWE has recognized the importance and vibrancy of the media as mechanisms for the introduction of new ideas and the correction of disabling gender stereotypes. In [996 FAWE took steps to harness the media to the issue of the education of girls-

to raise awareness and create demand for improved female participation in education and to combat negative gender images.

Media workshop In]uly t996, FAWE convened a media workshop that attracted 29 media practitioners from 18 African countries. Specialists in print, audio and folk media, they represented among others Reuters, the Associated Press (AP), International Press Service (IPS), African Council for Communication Education (ACCE), Pan African ews Agency (PANA), Union of Radio and Television Networks in Africa (URT A) and Africa No. I. The theme of the workshop was The Role of the Media in Supporting the Education ofGirls

TOOLS FOR OUTREACH Media kits/handouts The FAWE press kit was updated and a media kit was developed In collaboration with EDI. The media kit contains articles. charts. an Information sheet and publications on Issues concerning female education. The kits were used at FAWE's media workshop and the OAU Conference on the Empowerment of Women through Functional Literacy and the Education of the Girl-Child. An Information handout entitled "Girls' Academic Achievement. Realizing Full Potential" and targeted at teachers and headteachers was produced by the Secretariat. The Ghana Chapter developed a handout targeted at community leaders.

and Women in Development. Participants committed themselves to writing stories and producing articles in support of girls' education in their respective countries. The media practitioners turned the General Assembly itself into a big news event and sent several dispatches thsough faxes and electronic mail. Since the international media workshop, local workshops have been held in Ghana and Kenya. Individual journalists have produced a radio series (Guinea), helped launch a FAWE National Chapter newsletter (Sierra Leone), and written numerous newspaper and magazine articles (Kenya, Ghana, Uganda). ACCE is collaborating with FAWE to launch the FAWE media award for excellence in journalism. URTNA is helping put the film Education is Important - The Girls Know It on national television. And IPS is working to ensure that journalists keep in touch with each other via electronic mail.

Communications strategy FAWE's advocacy activities focus on getting the right information into the hands of people who can and will use it. An information, edu~ation and communications (lEC) strategy for female education in Africa was developed in 1996 to provide a framework for advocacy, information and dissemination work for '997 and beyond. The strategy takes a multi-media approach in which the development of new materials and use of existing ones will be done with the participation of the target audiences. The philosophy of the strategy is to speak directly to audiences, to target media strategically, and to tailor messages to the needs of audiences and the media

used.

FA WE 's own print media The Secretariat continued to produce its semi-annual newsletter, which beginning in '997 will be transformed into a quarterly magazine-FAWE News-that will go beyond being an in- house publication to become the News Magazine for girls' and women's education in Africa. FAWE National Chapters in Seychelles, Ghana and Sierra Leone have also launched their own national newsletters.

women. Meeting the challenge tequires the effective institutionalization of the FAWE mandate in all member countries. FAWE's aim is the sustainability of activities and structures, especially at the national level, that will effect changes in educational policies and strategic resource planning to increase female participation in education at all levels. The Z2 FAWE National Chapters are at various stages of development and ability to fulHl their mission. Some, such as Ghana, Seychelles, Zambia and Sierra Leone, have implemented activities and raised funds to a level well beyond what was

originally envisaged. Others have not taken off so quickly. In order for Chapters to have the desired impact, the Secretariat must adopt a flexible rather than a prescriptive approach in providing support to individual Chapters. The creation and development of new Chapters will be guided by the experience of the more successful and dynamic Chapters. The goal is ro have a Chapter in evety countty where FAWE has a member. The need to respond to demand must be balanced with that of achieving the desired impact. Good practice demands that FAWE be selective if a demonstrable and measurable impact is to be achieved in promoting girls' education. The challenge is to identify and support those interventions that are strategic and that have potential for maximum impact. Another challenge for FAWE is that of initiating measures and structures to ensure the sustainability of National Chapters. It will be necessary to generate good examples and modalities that have worked so as to convince headteachers, governments, donors and other key stakeholders to assume responsibility for mainstrearning successful strategies for the promotion of girls' education. The FAWE demonstration grants programme, innovators' award programmes and strategic resource planning exercises will be prime mechanisms for identifying such strategies. FAWE will continue to seek the recognition and support that is -also needed from donor partners ro

enable governments to implement such policies within their education aid and loan programmes. Successful Chapter activities will lead to greater recognition by governments and hence more support. The Secretariat will continue to encourage National Chapters to be innovative in their efforts ro generate local funding. Information on successful fund-raising strategies will be disseminated to all National Chapters. FAWE members must continue to take an authoritative policy role, using their positions and their knowledge of government, universities and the national policy environment. Despite these challenges, the successes so far demonstrate the strategic role FAWE can play in making visible the links between the education of girls and the realization of social and economic development goals. Education is important-the girls know it.

==========

=======

By 30 August 1996 the original budget of US$2,826,000 was revised to the level of available funds of US$2,376,000.

5 FORTIFICATION OF FAWE MEMBERSHIP ROLES US$I53,954 (a) MEETINGS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (US$36,084) Out of the two meetings of the Executive Committee scheduled ro be held during the year, only one was held. The second was rescheduled and held during the first week ofJanuary 1997 to coincide with the Rockefeller Foundation Board of Trustees meeting in Nairobi. The total amount of US$36,084 has now been spent. (b) CONSULTATION WITH ASSOCIATE MALE MINISTERS US$35,485

A mission by FAWE consultant to francophone Africa on follow-up to the FAWE inter-ministerial consultation on school drop-out and adolescent pregnancy which was planned for October 1996 was rescheduled to January 1997 because the consultant who had been commissioned to undertake the mission fell ill. ."

ational Chapters activities planned to take place during the year were rescheduled

to allow adequate time for the National Chapters to revise their activities in line with the guidelines prepared by the Secretariat and debated by the General Assembly held in July 1996 at which the National Chapters were represented. The guidelines had to be tabled for discussion and ratification by the Technical Committee and the Executive Committee. The meetings of the Technical and the Executive Committees did not take place until December 1996. This therefore delayed the implementation of the planned activities. It is anticipated that National Chapters will now be supponed and strengthened for effective implementation of the 1997 Work Programme.

6 STRATEGIC RESOURCE PLANNING US$I08,no Out of the three National workshops planned, only the Ethiopian one took place. Guinea and Tanzania were not ready at the time FAWE closed her books, and the National Seminars were postponed to early 1997.

7 STRENGTHENING FEMALE LEADERSHIP AT THE TERTIARY LEVEL US$70,3IO Prior to July 1996, the FAWE vice chancellors had not had an opportunity to meet and concretize activities under this line of work. On the basis of a concept paper prepared by one of the vice chancellors and presented at their 27 July 1996 meeting, the vice chancellors identified areas of focus and activities to be carried out in 1997.

8 EXPERIMENTATION AND DEMONSTRATION GRANTS PROGRAMME US$I07,275 In February 1996, the Technical Committee provisionally approved three proposals under the demonstration grants with recommendations for amendments by the proposers. These amendments took a long time to be incorporated and hence the delay in releasing funds to the grantees by the end of the year. The quality of proposals submitted for funding has unfortunately been unsatisfactory and the majority had to be returned to the proposers for revision and re-submission. In 1997, FAWE has planned to train potential proposal writers at the sub-regional level.

9 ADVOCACY, INFORMATION AND DISSEMINATION US$9M30

(a) THE FRANCOPHONE BUREAU US$23,OOO The Francophone Bureau is situated in Conakry, Guinea. The civil strife in the country and

changes in the Ministry of Education led to the delay in the implementation of programmed activities.

(b) GENDER SENSITIZATION ACTIVITIES US$20,000

The collaborative activities and workshops planned under this line were re-scheduled to 1997. (c) FILM, VIDEO AND SONG US$3I,000 -:. 'nslation, replication adaptation and dissemination by the FAWE sc~;eduled to 1997.

ational Chapters were re-

(d) INFORMATION HANDOUTS US$19,000 The EDI undertook the publication of the first two targeted handouts developed in 1996. Two other targeted handouts commissioned during the year were not ready for publication by December 1996.

PROGRAMME ASSOCIATED COSTS (US$45,930)

(a) PROGlUtMME TRAVEL EVALUATION AND MONITORING US$25,032 The planned site visits to grantees for evaluation and monitoring did not take place because the new project staff did not join until January 1997. (b) PROGRAMME PERSONNEL COSTS US$21,OOO

Recruitment of the two programme officers approved by the Executive Committee in July 1996 was not completed untilJanuatyI997.

GENERAL ADMINISTRATION US$3I,OOO

(a) STAFF DEVELOPMENT US$17,000 A staff development workshop scheduled to be held during the year was rescheduled to February 1997 in order to include the newly recruited staff. (b) STAFF REMUNERATION US$14,000

The Executive Committee meeting held inJuly 1996 approved the appointment of two additional staff in the administration. These staff did not join FAWE until January 1997, and hence the variance in this line.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEME TS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 1996 1

ORGANISATION AND NATURE OF ACTIVITIES

The Forum for African Women Educationalists is a membership organisation that brings together African women ministers in charge of national education systems, women vice chancellors of African universities and other senior women policy makers. Founded in 1992, and registered in Kenya as a Pan African NGO in 1993, FAWE has 48 full membets from 27 African countries including Zanzibar, 20 associate members comprising male ministers of education and permanent secretaries, and 22 ational Chapters. An unprecedented group of influential African women policy makers, FAWE is well positioned to stimulate broad policy reform and create a conducive environment for increasing parental demand for girls' education. Following the]omtien Statement of 1990, which declared that Education for All (EFA) and the achievement of gender equity in education by the year 2000 should be the goal of signatoty governments, five women education ministers from Africa were motivated to begin deliberate and concerted efforts to achieve these goals in Africa. They firmly believed that women in decisionmaking positions had the potential to make a significant difference in the education and training of women and girls in their countries. In order for them to make such difference, however, it would be necessary to put into place a mechanism that would, on a continuing basis, enable senior women education policy makers to talk to each other, share views, exchange experiences, explore alternatives and pool their intellectual resources. The formation of a network was clearly a priority. In addition to providing a forum for exchange of ideas, the network would support members and their institutions and strengthen their capacity to influence policy formulation and implementation. 2
