RE: [Africa-CS-WSIS]Re: [WSIS CS-Plenary] L'absence des associations africaines sur la scène internationale

This is an interesting debate.
   
  We would appreciate our contribution to reach all the above mentioned groups and
  thank in advance any feed back from any reader.
   
  1-In 1991, Africans,Latin American and other colleagues from the south organised
  an international Conference on Partnership in Jordanhill College of Education
  Campus. I was the Secretary of the organising committee. Unfortunately,
  a former ambassador, choosen as moderator did not allow the debate to
  succeed as we students were asking for a North South Partnership Network.
  reason: Generally when organisations from the North talk of equality, only
  few mean it.
   
  2- In 1996 in Abidjan, when African NGOs acked Northern Ngos working
  with African Development Bank to accompany and support efforts of
  African Ngos, They refused and stopped coming to the yearly meetings
  where African, Northern NGOs had to discuss in equal footing with
  African Development Bank.
  reason: They came with hidden agendas and were there only to dictate
  both to the Bank and African NGOs on their priorities.
   
  3- Partnership is in contact with many civil society organisations in
  Africa and could help put in contact with some if there is real need.
  There are many websites where one can have two or three entries
  on how to reach appropriate civil society organisations.
  Generally propaganda,lies don't help to choose those who
  can articulate African priorities and interests.
   
  4- African countries are very rich but they are declared poor because
  our resources can only reach the international market if generally
  purchased and sold by appropriate quarters. When African organisations
  stard talking of equity, good governance and other sensible issues,
  they are no more invited to meetings...
   
  5- If western media could give the right information on african to their
  public, there could be some hope but we need to do it for ourselves.
   
  6- CSO from Africa don't attain these meetings because there are
  many access barriers: language, finance, propaganda against africa,
   cultural and places.

  N.B: There is hope. If European don't want to say the reality about
  Africa, America, China, India and others will soon help realities to
  be known by those who for decade have been ...
   
  Thanks for your kind attention.

2 or 3 ideas about why african Civile Society is not
enough involved in The international debates.
- often these debates took place in the North Cities
with high cost of transportation and daily needs for
housing and foods ;
- information about such important meetings and
debates are not always available and access to
Internet is not everywhere possible ;
- access to visas is not free and often is quasi
impssible to reach ;
- CS associations are as poor as their countries and
the cost of one night in an European Hotel can be
higher than one month salary ;
- when they can participate generally they have not
the same capacity to deal with these meeting as the
North civile society do ;
