 Subject: UPDATE: NGO Report Now On-line
--

The Final Report of the AP Women 2000 NGO Symposiumis now on the AWORC
website http://www.jca.apc.org/aworc/bpfa/index.html

The delay in the uploading of the report was due to the revisions and
editing that the drafting committee and secreatariat had to make to
accurately reflect the agreements reached during the symposium. 

Isis-International uploaded the report two days after receiving the
final version from the hardworking drafting committee. 

We now appeal to everyone to please distribute the report widely and to
send your endorsements as soon as possible. 

The following is a brief description of the report format lifted from
the report:

The Regional Report has been divided into two sections:

Part A is the formal outcome of the Symposium proceeding.
$B  (B It is comprised of :

1.An Introduction and Background to the Report.
2.The Conference Declaration
3.Summary Evaluation
4.Analysis of Critical Areas of Concern

Part B of the report gives an important voice to women who attended the
symposium. 
$B  (B As well as the formal workshops on the Beijing Platform for Action, a
number of other important sessions took place such as the Youth Forum,
Gender in Agricultural Environment and Natural Resources Management, a
Stakeholders Panel, a Forum - The Women's Movement in the Future.
In addition, over twenty special interest groups, which covered issues
of national, regional, sub-regional and national interests, and
major issues which are common to many women in the region were held.
Many of these interest groups submitted reports or statements to the
conference organisers.The reports of these sessions are presented below.
$B  (B The outcomes of these sessions was not formally endorsed by the
symposium participants at a plenary session, nor by the management
committee.

Both parts of the report are in pdf formats.
We have provided a help note and guide for users who are not familiar
with downloading pdf files.
