MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY GENERAL

Civil Society Gathering Focuses on Reform of the United Nations

Recently, I attended adiverse gathering of NGOs at the World Civil
Society Forum (WCSF) in Geneva. The forum was coordinated by
Mandat International, an organisation that provides an advisory and
welcome service to civil society organisations coming to Geneva for
the large number of meetings that take place there. The event itself
brought together some grassroots NGOs which normally do not
have access to global gatherings and the leadership of the multi-
lateral UN system.

In attendance at the WCSF were various leaders of UN agencies
and the former Secretary General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali. However,
following the opening session, most of the high level UN delegates
disappeared. The conference programme included several valuable
educational activities and study tours to various components of
international organisations based in Geneva and several delegates I
spoke to found this very useful. There was, however, significant
division regarding the status of the event as a once-off educational
gathering or as a more permanent feature on the civil society
calendar. There was also much controversy and division within
regional caucuses where nominations to a steering committee
were to be decided. This, in part, accounts for less than 100
delegates attending the final plenary. It remains to be seen how the
steering committee will act in the coming months and whether it
will address the shortcomings of the event, ethically and forthrightly.

The matter of democratisation of the UN and its agencies is of key
importance, particularly in the present day context, where the
power to resolve fundamental economic, political, social and
environmental problems lies in global processes and with global
institutions, rather than at the national level. Most civil society
organisations see the UN as the more acceptable face of the
multilateral system and thus have an interest in the organising
principles of the body. Some background on the UN helps to put
these principles into perspective:

The UN was formed in 1945 at a distinct moment in world history. It
was driven by the victors of the Second World War and by those
who possessed nuclear power. Most of the world was still in
colonial bondage. Not surprisingly, two of the five nations to get the
veto power were Britain and France. Today, 57 years later, we
continue to treat the UN and the other Bretton Woods Institutions
as if the world has not changed substantially.

Civil society organisations are beginning to question why nuclear
powers or victors of a historic war should exercise hegemonic
power over the UN. Should not basic democratic principles be the
main organising tenets of the organisation? Should population size
not be taken into account when determining veto powers, Security
Council composition and other fundamental issues? Moreover, how
do we encourage the United States to pursue foreign and domestic
policies that are embracing of global diversity, rather than the
unilateral postures and interventions that have dominated the last
decade?

At the global policy-making level, many civil society organisations
have misgivings about the systems in place for civil society
participation in major international gatherings such as the World
Conference on Racism or the forthcoming World Summit on
Sustainable Development. On the other hand, most civil society
organisations are making the best of an imperfect situation. Within
the existing framework, they continue to advance a more
people-centred agenda; one based on legitimate demands for a
sustainable future, rather than those that focus on trade-offs and
political expediency.

Importantly, an increasing number of civil society organisations are
in operational partnerships with several UN agencies around direct
service provision to communities in need. Today NGOs work with
not only UNICEF, UNDP, UNESCO and other UN agencies but
also in delivery partnerships with the World Bank.

Yet, challenges for civil society partnerships with the UN and the
multilateral system in general remain. In all interactions the work of
civil society organisations must be transparent and scrutinised by
the target constituencies. At micro level, programming engagement
with some UN agencies needs to be less bureaucratic and more
responsive to the urgent needs of the implementing service
organisations. Several NGOs have told me that sometimes more
than half the grant allocation from a UN agency can be spent on
fulfiling the paper work and other bureaucratic expectations of that
agency. It is important to acknowledge the benefits of such
partnerships but we must work harder to make them more effective.

Indeed, activism that works to further democratise the United
Nations at all levels is key to the improvement of the current
system of global governance. The continuing dominance of rich
nations and the often powerless observer status of civil society on
the global stage must be challenged if people-centred politics and
development are to be achieved.

Perhaps the most important challenge of all, is how we connect
what is happening at the global level with what is happening at the
local level. Unless we are able to ensure that these global
processes have genuine relevance for local civil society initiatives,
we will be failing miserably.

Warm regards,

Kumi Naidoo

IN BRIEF: CIVIL SOCIETY 'ROUND THE GLOBE

ASIA

Vietnam
In Vietnam, there are currently 45 000 people infected with HIV, a
figure that is predicted to rise to 200 000 by 2005. Many infections
are among commercial sex workers and intravenous drug users. In
1999, the Ministry of Labour introduced controversial legislation to
prevent HIV-infected people from working in certain jobs, including
hotel work and food production, kindergartens, health care centres
and vaccine production, and beauty salons. In order to combat the
rising rate of infections, a three-month reproductive health advocacy
campaign was recently launched on national Vietnamese
television. The six-part series includes spots on unwanted
pregnancies, contraception, gender equity, safe sex and HIV/AIDS
is aimed at adolescents and key stakeholders such as parents,
teachers and policy makers. Spots are broadcast in breaks
between football matches to reach a maximum number of people.
However, most Vietnamese do not have access to mass media
and civil society organisations are using other channels to promote
messages about safe sex.

For example, Family Health International has trained barbers in the
port city of Haiphong to distribute literature and condoms to
customers, while also engaging them in conversation about safe
sex and safe needle use. A team of shoeshine boys have been
similarly trained and the initiative has reached tens of thousands of
people since last year.

Phillipines

Eighteen months ago, throngs of Filipinos gathered at a religious
shrine for a rally that ended in the resignation of corrupt then-
president Joseph Estrada. The massive turnout was widely
attributed to mobile text messaging, with hundreds of thousands of
Filipinos passing along messages encouraging people to attend.
Now, they are turning to text messaging to fight a different enemy:
air pollution. The nonprofit organisation Bantay Kalikasan (BK), or
Environmental Watchdog, has launched a campaign to get dirty
trucks and buses off the streets of Manila, one of the most polluted
cities in Asia. People with cell phones are encouraged to report, via
mobile text, any vehicles they see emitting black smoke; BK then
sends lists of vehicles that have five or more complaints filed
against them to the government agency responsible for issuing
licenses to trucking and commercial vehicle companies, and the
agency summons the owners for emissions testing. In the first two
weeks of the campaign alone, 123 vehicle owners were called in.
BK's ultimate goal is to get the government to enforce its Clean Air
Act, enacted in 1999, so that cell-phone owners can go back to
texting their friends.

LATIN AMERICA

Brazil

A development initiative in Brazil, Kidlink Houses, has introduced
internet centres to serve students, street kids and indigenous
youth. Goals of the project include keeping children off the street,
motivating street children to return to school, promoting literacy,
supporting children through difficult times, and giving youth more
control over their lives. The centres also work towards community
building by encouraging groups of senior citizens to interact via
email with youth.

SOUTH PACIFIC

New Zealand

New Zealand is one of the last countries in the world to have a food-
production system entirely free of genetically modified organisms
(GMOs). But this could soon change when voters go to the polls
this week to decide whether to lift a moratorium on the use of
GMOs. The vote is set to shape national politics in the country for
years to come. The debate has split the ruling leftist coalition, with
the Labour Party in favor of lifting the moratorium and the Green
Party bitterly opposed. The divisions run deep, sometimes even
dividing husbands and wives; the nation's Federated Farmers
support GMOs, while the Rural Women's Association does not.
This issue is particularly fraught because agriculture accounts for
50 percent of the country's economic activity.

WSSD WATCH

The Women's Centre

An Apartheid era women's jail will be converted into a place of
culture and debate during the World Summit on Sustainable
Development (WSSD). The building formerly held women
incarcerated under notoriously repressive laws such as the
Immorality Act and the Pass Laws. Delegates to the Women's
Forum at the WSSD will have the chance to meet and debate in a
venue steeped in history.

The old jail forms part of the new Constitution Hill Development in
Johannesburg, designed to house the Constitutional Court, as well
as South Africa's Chapter Nine Institutions - those organisations
set up under the Constitution to safeguard and promote
democracy. After the WSSD, the South African Commission for
Gender Equality will be based in this building.

During the WSSD, displays and exhibitions exploring women's
contributions to the history of South Africa will be housed in
different parts of the former jail. The Centre will also be used as a
venue for workshops, seminars and cultural events, such as a jazz
festival, dance and theatre performances.

FEATURE OF THE WEEK

Community Radio - speaking to the challenges of communication

Development workers once told a story of visiting a rural village in
the south of Mozambique in 1986. In conversation, an elderly
woman asked, "When is this Frelimo coming? We are tired of
suffering under this government."

Of course, Frelimo had been in power for just over a decade by
then. News had not reached this isolated village -only the hardship
caused by the war between Frelimo and Renamo that would
continue for the next ten years. Two months after the visit by the
development workers, Renamo attacked the village. The news may
have finally come to that woman, loud and clear, through the barrel
of a gun.

It is common knowledge that since 1986, global communication
has been revolutionised. Through the Internet and mobile phones, it
is now possible to communicate across the globe in a matter of
minutes. Yet, it is often forgotten that for literally millions of
isolated rural people, limited access to information of any sort
remains the reality. How accessible is information and cross-global
communication to people in the rural villages of Mozambique, or
Nepal, or Guatemala?

All too often the majority of underdeveloped countries' populations,
particularly the rural poor, remain ignorant of global events and
significant international and national political, socio-economic and
developmental policy shifts, simply because they have no access
to the relevant technology. This 'information poverty' has the effect
of reinforcing 'real' poverty.

The challenge then, is for the development sector to find a means
of communication that is accessible and cheap to even the most
isolated rural person.

According to Tshepo Rantho, of the Global Community Radio
Movement, AMARC, the Internet is not at this stage very viable in
remote rural areas, because technology is underdeveloped and
there are very few telephone lines.

Rantho adds that print media is also not the answer. "Print media
is most commonly owned by commercial concerns in the north, or
their appendages in the south. It does not speak directly to the
interests of the majority of rural people based in the Third World."

There is the further issue of widespread illiteracy to take into
account, and the fact that even when people are literate, the written
word very often appears in a language that they are not familiar with.

Television is also problematic, as it is hampered by the
underdevelopment of broadcasting infrastructure in many remote
areas of the world. The high cost of producing programmes for
television means that many national broadcasters favour buying
programmes made abroad, so that again, rural audiences may find
themselves confronted with material that is at best unfamiliar to
them, and at worst, utterly irrelevant.

This, according to ARMAC, is where community radio comes in.

Radio remains the most accessible medium in any region where
the number of telephone lines is low and infrastructure generally is
underdeveloped, as in many parts of the developing world.

The cost of radio is one of its great advantages. Both production
and infrastructure are relatively cheap, and distribution costs are
negligible. Radio is accessible to people who cannot read and
write, and content can be put across in any language.

According to Rantho, another great advantage of community radio
is that stations are owned and controlled by communities, which
gives them a real stake in the content of programming.

"Community radio stations can be used as a tool of development,"
says Rantho. "The community can determine the content in such a
way that it really serves their information needs. Rural communities
are not subject to the attitudes and approach of urban-based
programmers, where content is aimed at audiences with very
different interests and needs."

VOICE OF CIVIL SOCIETY

Voices from the Barcelona AIDS Conference

The following are comments from delegates to the AIDS 2002
Conference in Barcelona earlier this month:

"Once again, many of us could not participate at this conference
due to visa problems. Because of this, the Spanish Minister of
Health was booed during the opening ceremony. We do not have
exact numbers of those who could not attend or with any certainty
that every single case can be regarded as an act of discrimination
and stigmatisation against those who live with HIV/AIDS. But it is
clear we have to address travel restrictions for people living with
HIV/AIDS. These restrictions limit possibilities for those infected to
participate effectively. This situation in a so-called global society is
unbearable."
_____________________________________________________
"As long as the world is not a very open place for those who are
infected, we should consider where future World AIDS Conferences
should take place. It is unacceptable that those who need
information most urgently will kept out in future. The phrase "one
world, one hope" is hypocrisy as long as this situation continues."
_______________________________________________________
"The inequalities and disparities for people living with HIV/AIDS are
further fuelled by increasing stigmatisation, discrimination and
growing xenophobia in the developed world. This is evident in the
harsh and racist policies against migrants, refugees and displaced
persons. Canada, which has a long-standing reputation for
respecting human rights, today has imposed mandatory testing for
certain categories of people entering that country. This
exclusionary policy toward those who are infected must be seen for
what it is: discriminatory, and moreover, shortsighted and
dangerous, because it gives societies a false sense of security."
____________________________________________________
"Globalisation is transforming national health care into a privately
controlled commodity. Structural adjustment programmes and
trade liberalisation have pushed nations to privatise health care
services, and control over health care has shifted from governments
to the drug and insurance industries. Privatising health has
compromised primary health care and as a result, helped HIV to
multiply. Communities have the capacity and knowledge to
address AIDS. It is not the lack of knowledge that is the
bottleneck. It is lack of resources."

"We would have saved millions of lives and reversed the epidemic.
New initiatives that look at increasing access to care are important
and challenge long standing global inequities but they do not
attack the root causes of denial of treatment.An intervention like
the Global Fund for drugs becomes a dole out unless we recognise
that health is a fundamental right, not charity work."
