| NEW HIGHLIGHT: The story of Mali, Filipina migrant in Italy: How the members of her family reinvented their roles |
Mali migrated to Italy from the Philippines when she was 46 years old, three years after her husband had moved there for work as a domestic helper. Both of them now work in Italy and send money home to their sons, who are concluding their studies in the Philippines. Mali was born in 1958 in Pampanga, a poor province in the Central Luzon region. After leaving her country, she became the main provider for her household and a determined worker.
“When I was in Pampanga I used to own a goods store. I also had a grocery store; I was also a rice dealer and money lender. I was a busy business woman,” she recounted in an interview with UN-INSTRAW. However, the money Mali and her husband made working in the Philippines was not enough to ensure that her sons, aged 22 and 19, and her daughter, aged 18 could go to university. In fact, the family was not even able to cover their basic living expenses. In 2002, Mali’s husband left to find work in Italy in order to try and add to the family’s income. Three years later, Mali decided to join him. Upon arrival, Mali was welcomed by her husband and shortly afterwards, she started working as a live-in nanny for a family in Parioli, Rome...

| NEW LOOK! New Features! |
This bright new dgCommunities newsletter is part of a fresh updated look for dgCommunities as the Development Gateway rolls out a new open source content management system in May. New features will soon be available on almost all dgCommunities, including a star system for rating the usefulness of a resource; cloud tags to instantly identify most frequently accessed key words; and a member option to add your Business Card information located in 'Manage Your Account' under 'My Gateway'.
Your global dgCommunity team has been training to use the new system using online tools donated by The John C. Ford Program-Global Education Initiative. Thanks to all their hard work--and thanks to your patience as the new system comes online--dgCommunities will remain one of the world's premiere knowledge-sharing platforms for development information.
|
| TWO NEW dgCOMMUNITIES Launched on Key Development Topics |
Two new dgCommunities on topics of vital importance for development go live in May. "Disaster Prevention & Response" contains resources related to emergency responses to environmental and medical catastrophes in developing countries. "Stabilization & Reconstruction" includes knowledge resources needed to stabilize and rebuild developing countries following environmental disasters or armed conflict.
Developed through a partnership with the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), these new portals will provide a virtual space to enable participants to build capacity, strengthen working relationships, and improve development outcomes. Particular emphasis will be placed on bringing together government agencies and international and nongovernmental organizations in developed and developing countries to discuss common challenges.

| NEW! DISCUSSION: Your Views on Feminist Movements and Organizations |
The Association of Women in Development ( AWID ) published, jointly, with Zed Books, "Building Feminist Movements and Organizations - Global Perspectives" in 2007. This groundbreaking collection of essays by activists from all over the world explores what it means to be an effective women's organization, and what it takes to build the kinds of movements we need to transform women's lives. Touching on everything from how to build successful participatory democratic processes and implement shared leadership models, to lessons on overcoming internal organizational divisions, the case studies in this collection focus not only on the "what" but also the "how" of movement building. Anyone involved in the complex, vexing question of how to effect sustainable change will find not only much food for thought, but also an abundance of creative ideas and innovative strategies - served up with a uniquely feminist twist. To order a copy of the book, email contact@awid.org.
But, perhaps you have more stories and views to share from your country on such feminist movements? The Development Gateway Foundation welcomes your contributions on this forum.
Thanks. Best wishes.

Development Gateway Fundation -Esp. - Enero/Feb.08
Enero/febrero 2008
Acerca de la Fundación
Noticias de la Red Country Gateway:
Noticias acerca de la fundación
AiDA agrega información de las principales organizaciones no-gubernamentales
La
base de datos sobre actividades de desarrollo, AiDA, incluye ahora
actividades financiadas por la Fundación Gates, por Open Society
Institute, y la Red Fundación Soros. Estos donantes no tradicionales
financian más de 3.800 actividades. Como herramienta para la
efectividad de la ayuda, AiDA incluye información sobre más de
200.000 proyectos de desarrollo en todo el mundo. Visite la base de datos.
La implementación de AMP boliviana es un hito para la efectividad de Ayuda
En
diciembre de 2007, Development Gateway Foundation instaló la
Plataforma de Gestión de Ayuda en el ministerio de planificación de
Bolivia, y comenzó a capacitar al personal. Esto representa tanto la
primera implementación de AMP en español como la primera vez que se
integra plenamente una base de datos de asistencia ya existente en AMP.
En los meses proximos se fortalecerá la Plataforma de Gestión de
Ayuda con información adicional de la base de datos de inversiones
públicas del ministerio – permitiendo tener una visión
comprehensiva de los flujos de ayuda hacia Bolivia y de las actividades
de desarrollo resultantes. AMP está creando un enlace clave entre
programas de donantes y actividades de inversión pública
gubernamental para mejor informar acerca de la planificación del
desarrollo y los resultados de monitoreo a través del ciclo del
proyecto. Haga clic para más información acerca de AMP.
Tanzania pilotea AMP
A
principios de febrero se piloteo la plataforma de gestión de Ayuda en
Tanzania. El ministerio de finanzas aloja la aplicación, y su
departamento de finanzas externas está poblando las bases de datos con
información de todos los acuerdos con donantes. Se espera que unas
pocas agencias donantes seleccionadas comiencen a utilizar el sistema
en marzo o abril. AMP facilitará informar sobre flujos de ayuda,
monitoreará los desembolsos, mejorará las proyecciones para el
proceso de presupuesto nacional, y apoyará la coordinación liderada
por el gobierno para el proceso de administrar la ayuda. La plataforma
también será probada por el ministerio de infraestructura con el fin
de informar sobre los resultados del amplio portafolio de proyectos de
inversión para infraestructura.
Tanzania ha sido pionera en
trabajar hacia los objetivos de la Declaración de ParÃs sobre
efectividad de la ayuda. Esto ha resultado en una estrategia de
asistencia mutuamente aceptada por la mayor parte de los donantes
multilaterales y bilaterales. AMP apoyará al gobierno en sus esfuerzos
para coordinar sus socios para el desarrollo que producirá a un
impacto más fuerte en actividades de desarrollo. Haga clic para más información acerca de AMP<\a>.
dgCommunities cambiará su sistema de administración de contenido de fuente abierta

capacidad, fortalecer relaciones de trabajo y mejorar resultados de
desarrollo. Se dará énfasis especial en reunir agencias
gubernamentales y organizaciones internacionales y no gubernamentales
en paÃses desarrollados y en desarrollo para discutir desafÃos en
común.

Dear Member,
Welcome to your newsletter from the Gender and Development dgCommunity of the Development Gateway.

Content Coordinator
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. NEW! HIGHLIGHT: Born in the Big Rains - A Memoir of Somalia and
Survival by Fadumo Korn, Sabine Eichhorst (Published by The Feminist
Press at C.U.N.Y.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fadumo Korn is vice president of FORWARD–Germany, an organization
dedicated to promoting action to stop FGM. She lives with her family in
Munich.
This powerful memoir by international anti-FGM activist Fadumo Korn
portrays both her life-altering transformation after she undergoes a
brutal female circumcision at the age of seven and her journey to
recovery and empowerment. As a feisty nomad, Fadumo freely roamed the
wild steppes of her natave Somalia until her mother delivered her into
the hands of an excisor to undergo female genital mutilation (FGM), to
be made a woman in the eyes of her tribe.
The complications brought on by the circumcision provide the
impetus to her search for health and her story. Fadumo first travels to
the bustling city of Mogadishu and the household of a wealthy uncle,
brother of the Somali president. She enters a world of luxury
underpinned by political instability and cruelty in a country gearing
for rebellion. As her symptoms worsen, she journeys to Germany, where
she receives not only therapy but love and acceptance from the most
unlikely of places.
Fadumo Korn weaves together a sensitive understanding of
traditional practices with revelations about their disturbing effects.
This deftly crafted tale, full of sorrow and surprising humor, provides
a candid history of a life sculpted by crippling rheumatism and an
unexpected path to recovery.
Korn begins by describing her life as a feisty Somali nomad, freely
roaming her country's steppes. She undergoes FGM (female genital
mutilation) at the age of seven, and everything changes. She is sent to
Mogadishu for treatment of complications, and as civil war looms, finds
herself living amid luxury in the capital with an uncle related to the
president. Korn escapes the violence that envelops Somalia when she is
sent to Europe for advanced medical care. There she finds physical and
emotional release from trauma, marries a German, bears a child, and
becomes an international anti-FGM activist.
Early in the memoir, Fadumo writes that the status of Somali
families increased with the birth of a son and that, as a girl, she
gained status because she had four brothers. Female circumcision is a
powerful tradition in Somalia marking a girl's transition to womanhood.
According to Fadumo, "Tradition is powerful. It's unthinkable to work
against tradition. No girl would want to avoid circumcision, for it
would mean exclusion.â€

3. NEW! DISCUSSION: Educating women benefits the whole of society.
It has a more significant impact on poverty and development than men's
education.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the ICPD Programme of Action, "education, together
with reproductive health, is one of the most important means of
empowering women with the knowledge, skills and self-confidence
necessary to participate fully in the development process". (Paragraph
4.2, excerpt).
Please share your views and experiences with the community.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
4. NEW! Resource of Interest: Convention on the Global Commons - in Brief
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The actions of countless people demonstrate that another world is
possible. The list of successful campaigners for the global commons
includes Muhammad Yunus, who is helping to lead Bangladesh out of
extreme poverty with his program of microloans; Vandana Shiva, who is
fighting brilliantly in India for patent rights; the German Hans Küng,
who has developed the concept of a shared world ethos; Al Gore, who is
making Americans more aware of global warming; Wangari Maathai, who is
reforesting the deserts of Kenya; and Amartya Sen of India, who has
developed principles for an alternative economic system. There are also
many worthwhile mass initiatives such as the United Nations Commission
on Sustainable Development, Agenda 21, Earth Charter, CIVICUS, Global
Call to Action Against Poverty, One Campaign, World Ethos, Helsinki
Process, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, World Social Forum,
Network of Spiritual Progressives, Globalisation for the Common Good,
and many, many more. Building on the work of these organizations and
others, we present the first draft of a global action plan.
This plan will provide the initial impetus for a multistakeholder
consultation process, through which we expect eventually to contact
thousands of individuals and organizations which are already focused on
a particular aspect of the global commons. Our text addresses many
complex issues, for each of which there are no doubt thousands of
experts. We are also seeking the expression and understanding of many
more perspectives as the basis for the development of possible courses
of action. Consequently, this draft is a work in progress – an
introductory proposal for a Convention on the Global Commons. It is
based on what has been learned from the work of many people who have
thought about and worked on these issues, and it will continue to grow
with time.
