Another Practical Example
African Women's Development and Communications Network
- A regional women's network which aims to promote women's development, equality and human rights through advocacy, training and communications at the regional and international levels
- The review process of the Beijing Platform for Action led to FEMNET entering a partnership with the Association of Progressive Communicators Africa Women's Programme to establish a listserve and website: www.flamme.org to debate and consolidate African positions for the review process
- The listserve is being used to debate and research African women's access to and use of NICTs for women's development and human rights. The website is being used to document African women's participation in the review process. And with the addition of Inter Press Service, the Flamme partnership produced strategic daily bulletins at the African Prep Com, participated in the production of strategic daily bulletins by the APC's Women Action group at the global Prep Com and is planning to do both at the Special Session
