Hi all,

I believe members of this list were interested in governance and 
sustainability issues.  It might be useful to see how others are 
doing...

Please make the post the following announcement:

South Asia Partnership Canada -  Annual Forum 1998
The New Alliance: Local Government and Community Activism


The South Asia Partnership Canada will be hosting its annual forum on 
The New Alliance: Local Government and Community Activism, in three 
locations:

Vancouver December 3-4 at UBC Garduate Students Centre; 
Toronto December 7-9 at Metro Hall; 
and December 11 at Parliament Hill, West Block, Room 371. 

The forum examines the emergence of decentralized local government
structures in the South Asian region as a precursor for good governance,
and its inextricable link to sustainable human development.  The
convergence of civil society activity with the new emerging local
government structures, have the potential for far-reaching consequences 
on inclusion, accountability and effectiveness of the development 
process.

The South Asian experience will be compared and contrasted to the
experience of decentralization (of services) in Canada. The forum will
provide a unique opportunity for participants to listen to prominent
resource people from South Asia and Canada, including NGOs, think-tanks,
CIDA, local government and academia, and to actively discuss strategies
for participatory change. 

For further information on this forum, please contact: the South Asia 
Partnership Canada in Ottawa at (613)241-1333 or e-mail: sap@web.net; 
or our partner organization in Vancouver, Hope International at  Tel:

Toronto, the Ontario Council for International Cooperation (OCIC) at
